Ten Year Celebration for the Classy Radio Red Hatters
Patsy W7PAT started the chapter which
was made up with female hams or xyls of ham
radio operators. She was queen for a little over
one year before she became a silent key. Our
vice queen, Joanie WB7UFS became a silent
key in the same year. But we have continued
to meet each month to celebrate our friendship.
Our ham call is KE7LJC for the Classy Radio
Red Hatters Club. We are also known as Ladies of Jewels and Crowns (LJC).
If you or your wife would like to join in our
fun, please contact Cory KA7IUG.
