shout out for the GYMA...

[yfdgricker]

If you live in the Youngstown, Ohio area and are into listening to the scanner or firefighting (which you must be because you are reading this board!). Why not check out the Greater Youngstown Monitoring Association or GYMA for short.

The club is devoted to the hobby of scanner monitoring, amateur radio, shortwave and everything in between.

We hold meetings ever odd month (cause hey we're all odd too so it works out) and we usually meet at the club president's house (who you might recogize, his handle is Hazguy ) in Boardman. Anyone and Everyone is welcome to attend the meeting and if we have some people who show up, we might actually have a decent time Hahaha. No it's really a fun group just small right now.

Check out the GYMA web site by going to http://www.steelvalleywebdesign.com/gyma

Feel free to talk about it here. Either myself or Hazguy or maybe even W8YSU can answer any questions .

Come and check the group out!
