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!
