Description

This group is for the benefit of ham radio operators that are members of Eons anywhere in the world. This is the place where we can discuss the hobby, where it’s headed and what will be there when we arrive. We can swap stories, tell about our new endeavors, provide tips and tricks that have been learned through the years. Mentor new hams by helping with questions, providing a roll model they can look up to. Publicize nets, contests and the latest DX station worked, and stay in contact with your Eons buddies and the friends that joined you here. All those interested in the hobby are welcome, licensed amateurs or not!

Guidelines

There is only one rule and it is written in stone, “keep the exchanges civil”
