Welcome to the Friendly Bunch Amateur Radio Group! We are not a formal Net, but rather a conversational group. We meet every night from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm Eastern time on 3.919 MHz LSB. We operate according to F.C.C. rules 47 C.F.R. part 97 as to correct operation and appropriate conversation. Being a Family Friendly conversation group we welcome all properly licensed operators to visit with us.
CANCELLED
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the Leadership has CANCELLED this year's 7th annual get together in Sparta N.C. Due to the devastation in the region, many people have sought refuge in Sparta and the Alleghany Inn. Work and emergency crews are also in Sparta. Stone Mountain State Park is officially closed until at least November 1st. With this in mind, we came to the decision to cancel this year's get together, not have a large number of people show up and add to the situation, let work and emergency crews do their jobs and let the people affected by the storm try to restore their live. Everybody, please keep the people affected by this disaster and the crews working on recovery in your thoughts and prayers.
Everybody that had reservations at the Alleghany Inn, the reservations have been automatically transferred to next year's 8th annual get together. You may already have received a confirmation notice. There is nothing more you need to do. Please do not call the Alleghany Inn at this time. Everybody who has a reservation at a camp site or other facility, you will have to handle cancelling and rebooking yourself. We would like to thank John and staff at the Alleghany Inn, Jeff and Ginny at Crave, Pines, the city of Sparta and the local HAM operators for their understanding and continuous support of The Friendly Bunch. Any questions can be sent thru the web site or to the leadership.
