They all ask'd for you!
Bob, AA1RD, earned his Associate Membership (#312) for the Rare Ones of New Orleans. Bob is a retired electrical engineer so he appreciates the technical challenges of amateur radio as well as the many friendships it provides. Here’s a picture of Bob’s Awesome Shack….
On the Rare One’s, we often talk about the great seafood in Louisiana. Well, here are the results of my recent fishing trip with my son and a couple of his friends. We had a great day fishing in Breton Sound. If you visit New Orleans, take the advantage of our great Sportsman Paradise – There is a plethora of fishing and hunting guides in the area that will not leave you disappointed!
Recently, I sent John, W5PDW, some “Sassy” Jambalaya Mix. John worked in Louisiana in the Oil Field Services Sector for many years and misses our very fine Louisiana Cuisine. I found Sassy’s Jambalaya Mix at the Gretna Farmer’s Market several months ago and really liked it. If you’re interested, you can contact her at sassycajungirl@gmail.com or call her at 504-470-7619. The picture below is from W5PDW’s QTH!
We are making great progress on the construction of your new QTH! Here are some recent pictures. We are keeping our fingers crossed to move in late summer of 2026 and put up some nice antennas!

Mike tagged along with Scott – W5PLT on a short river excursion on a Cargo Ship on the Muddy Mississippi. If you happen to have a QSO with Mike be sure to ask him about his experience!
While on his trip to the Big Easy, Paul – KY4BF, visited Frank – KG5KWB and took a ride in Frank’s 55′ Nomad… What a treat!
Congratulations go out to Jay on acquiring his Associate Member Number! If you look up Jay on QRZ, you’ll notice he is quite an active ham. From Parks on the Air to hanging out with fellow ham radio friends, Jay has it going on…. Jay, here’s a challenge, since you’re in Orlando, how about a Disney on the Air together with FaceBook streaming. Great way to bring Amateur Radio to the Land of Mouseketeers!
