TJ High School

[Frank Gentges]

Andre and Tacos,

I talked to the libraian at TJ today and found they have only 2 books on 
amateur radio.  She agreed they need more and her father is a ham so she 
understands what amateur radio is about.  Any donations would be well 
received so check your bookshelf for good amateur books and magazines.

I am thinking that we will use a two hour period each Wednesday.  First 
hour would be on licensing work and the second hour on doing things like 
Andre's regen receiver and the like.  I think that would be a good 
starting project.  Any other second hour thoughts?
