Hey Michael,

I am also a ham but have been inactive for several years. I would love to get in touch with other SF amateur operators.

Along a similar vein: I just setup a new HF (10-30m) vertical pointing out the window, and am not getting much with the propagation the way it is these days. Would any SF hams be interested in a HF sked?
Is there a local VHF or UHF repeater that's popular?
