In August 1978, the 3905 Century Club, Inc. held its first Eyeball QSO in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Everyone of the 25 stations and their families enjoyed it and those of us who didn’t make it, wished we had.

The Eyeball QSO 1 coordinator was Alice, WA4RRR, a long time club member.

The Eyeball QSO 1 Booklet was dedicated to Lynn, WA1KKP, and Bill, WA2LWU, both Handi-Hams during the get-together.

Plans were begun almost immediately for Eyeball QSO 2. Bowling Green was again chosen for Eyeball QSO 2-East because of the convenient facilities and its near central location for the east and Midwest stations. Eyeball QSO 2-West was held at a ranch on the Wind River near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We underst and they also had a fine and enjoyable weekend.

On the weekend of August 11 & 12, 1979 Eyeball QSO 2 became a reality. Needless to say, Eyeball QSO 2-East was a great success with 41 stations, 37 of these being active on either or both nets, in attendance.

Again, it was decided to hold Eyeball QSO 3 at Bowling Green, Kentucky in August 1980. In attendance this year were five of our club officers.

This year the Eyeball QSO 3 Book was dedicated to four of our club members. Bill, WA2LWU, Keith, WD4ROD, first 2-Term elected president, Bill, WA2ZYM, who for many months did a two man job as secretary and received the club’s annual service award, and Tom,WD4CQY, who was very instrumental in organizing the Century Club and the incorporation of it in the state of Florida.

There was also invited, a Special Surprise Guest, WB4KCG, Ronnie Milsap however he was not able to attend because of business matters that came up at the last moment so he did have the courtesy to send the club members, that were friends of his, a letter of apology for not being able to attend. (A copy of that letter is attached).

The 3905 Century Club, Inc. Eyeball QSO 5 was held at Rock Candy Mountain, Dogpatch Arkansas on August 13 - 15 1982. Not much information furnished on this Eyeball, but I believe Letha, KA5HFB, was the club’s coordinator for this one. Not certain though.

As of July 1, 2008 I have been able to collect the following QSL images and photos taken at the 3905 Century Club annual get together called the Eyeball. Much information is needed to complete these pages. I am missing many of the little details that are soon forgotten, like who the Eyeball host was, number of attendees, and of course photos and Eyeball cards from the 1980s. Over the past 6 years many of our members now have digital cameras and are able to share with us there view of the Eyeball.

So if you have any missing data or photographs please send them along to me at the following email:
