Okay now, settle down.
Welcome. We're Glad You Dropped In
So, here you are.
You found your way in to Group 7155.
Now what?
You ask yourself, what have you gotten (sic) yourself into?First, we hope you enjoy your time with us and hope you come back often.
We are not a Net, we have no traffic, just good company and fun.And, this is what sets us apart from all those other Yay-whos
We welcome antenna, audio and other A-B (or C) tests.
So, no, you won't be interruping a "Net" or a roster to find help.And, we are friendly as heck. And there are no limits on the numbers of rounds, we just run until we run out of steam. We have lots of hams with lots of backgrounds and some really good stories.
RULES? Oh Gawd, Here We Go . . . .
No Religion. No Politics. Please
It tends to get the claws out, spurious emissions, fur flyin' all over the radio room floor. So messy. Takes five brooms to sweep it up. Pile of woes. So we avoid it.NetLogger & Care of Our Operators:
Respect those who run NetLogger and please try to be patient - the ones who volunteer are trying to help the group, to help you (yeah, you). We are always looking for those who would like to help out and run NetLogger for the group. It's a balancing act entering stations, greeting members, keeping things organized and running the program. Looks easy but for newbies it's a learning curve and it'll give you an appreciation for what they do, for you. So that's why it is very important. Got it? So let's get started.
Lastly,
"2 is the Do & Pause for the Cause"
Two minutes at the microphone ladies and gents when it comes to you so that others will have their turn. Please remember to briefly pause before you begin to transmit so that others can make comments or for those who want to join. Don't be the one who tromps down a comment or the arrival of a friend to join us.

Now look what you've gotten yourself into
CIick this photo to hear Matt give a signal report and then after his call sign, "Back after breakfast"REMEMBERING N7EG
Hello Again Matt
Matt's call sign was N7EG.
He was with us from the beginning and passed in 2015.
On his birthday, after 90 years of perfect health
He said to his wife Fran,
"I think I need to get checked out at the hospital."
He was gone the next day.
He was a Swann man, he would say, and
he had a few of them.
And had quite a collection of treasured bugs.
Here he is in his shack.
It's my guess that his wife Fran took this photo.
He was a great guy, just like all of you who are on
Group 7155.

RAMBLINGS
As you can imagine, things happen are here when you least expect it - inside and out of 7155. We hear a lot of weird stories and tales of the strange and unusual, but this next photo will show you how weird it can get. Remember, we are the "Animal House" of 40 Meters and most days we live up to that label. Here is Rocco doing what he does best. Normally that would be hearding cats. I don't think they told him - don't pet 'em. But, did he listen, no.
NO ROCCO, THEY SAID CAT "SCAN" This is truly an amazing photo. Here, Rocco, N6KN, our fearless "Cat Hearder" is doing what he does naturally - only on a much bigger platform and a lot of TLC. (c. 2017 - Click image for larger view ) |
UP ON THE ROOF Introducing Scott, W6EXM installing wires for his new horizontal loop. In additon to his new loop, Scott also has an end-fed and a vertical DX Commander that works on all HF bands. His station is comprised of an IC7300 and an FT991A, along with Alpha 87A 1500 watt amplifier and a Heathkit SA-2060A Deluxe antenna tuner. There is a rumor that Scott is angling for his Extra and may someday stop into our group and give us the good news. Way to go Scott, next stop a good ground system already in the planning stages.

LEW'S POEMS |
THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR
GROUP 7155 WEBSITE
Group 7155 has been around since 2010. This website came online in late 2013 to give the group a presence and to let other hams and especially newcomers know who we are and how we work. We are not a "Net." There is no traffic, no 73 round or any set amount of rounds. We are a group of hams just yakkin' about what we love until the last one leaves the frequency.
So, How Can I Become a Sponsor?
It's simple, donate. Not anything big either. Your donations go toward paying for hosting fees, site security, domain renewals and other related costs to keep group7155.com alive each year as in the past 11 years.
If and when you chose to Sponsor all you have to do is make a donation of any amount you feel comfortable with and you will be included in the Sponsor area that you see toward the top of this page. Get started, click the Donate button . . .
. . . and then send your picture or headshot to Ken, W6BQZ, your webmaster. Use the email shown on his QRZ page. Have fun, come back and join us!And if you choose to Sponsor, thank you very, very much for helping out. Your help is appreciated. You are appreciated.
Now look what you've gotten yourself into
