Dale,
Yep...we plant enough seeds and every so often one sprouts.  My friend and
associate in crime Greg, N9CHA is a member there and if you scroll through
their archived pages you will see that the club was having a "build a tape
measure yagi" get together and this young man and his dad happened to see
about it and stopped by, I don't think either of them were hams at that
time ( just a couple of months ago) the session was to build up antennas
for a fox hunt. The club members welcomed them and dug up anough parts for
them.  The young man got his ticket and took that fox hunting yagi and
pointed it to the sky! There is an ARISS contact coming in St. Paul in May
and N9XH will be assisting with that. I've met some of the hams up there
and they are a super group.

73,
John- AG9D
