Any of you in the Cobb Marietta area and have any idea what happened to the Kennehoochee Club? The website hasn't been updated in years!

I'm off Barrett parkway. Technician "plus" (can't remember but a few morse.code letters now. Heck I forgot what SOS is)
I have a baofeng HT. Occasionally I'll turn it on and listen but not too much in the last 10 years.
It's still an incredible resource if cell phones go down (power loss, hurricane or "public safety"). We should all practice more for sure.
I have some fond memories of learning Morse code back and forth with my stepdad 25 years ago. back then it was amazing that you could make a phone call through a radio!
for the baofeng I have the chirp software and programming cable. It's an amazing radio for only thirty bucks. I have it programmed but there's still some issue about hitting the repeaters and the subcodes.

Hmm. That doesn't show up as a valid call sign on the ARRL website. Was it quite a while ago?
Yep, I remember learning the code to get to 5 wpm to get my Technician license in 1975. ...---... look familiar?
Like I mentioned earlier, I've been off for 30+ years, just too much other stuff to spend time and money on. Plan on retiring next June and acquiring my toys for use later! I have 3 hobbies, photography, shooting and ham radio. I need to find a cheap hobby!

That name doesn't even ring a bell with me. I was totally out for 30 years. The last "hot" thing I recall in ham radio was packet radio!
There are so many digital modes and internet access like using Echo link to access repeaters all over the world with a tablet or smart phone it’s staggering.
He died a year ago at 90 and that’s he was ever able to do in old age
Just curious, I’m new to the Ham Radio scene , has anyone on the ODT try to set up a group?
