PACKET RACKET As you probably know, the RF port on the packet BBS is still down. We have some irons in the fire, but nothing is firm as of this writing. I'll keep you posted as the situation progresses. de N4JAG We are in need of radios for the APRS sites. If you have a 2 meter radio that you are not using, we might be able to use it for one of the stations. Contact Jerry - N4RYC or Rick - N4JAG. BREAKFAST Don't know what to do on Saturday morning? Come by Dottie's Country Kitchen on North Main Street in Enterprise around 7AM. We generally have a group of local HAMS that meet there for breakfast. We have a good time and food. Come join in on a friendly hour or so. Is that too early? How about Ann's in Ozark at 8AM. There is always a good sized crowd there also. Jerry N4RYC FOR SALE I have for sale a 15,000 BTU 120 volt window AC for $100. Looks rough but works fine. Jerry-N4RYC 347-4650 -------------------------------------------------- Electronic Edition: Nothing much to add this month. I guess nothing much is happening. You can add Leon, KD4KT, to the e-mail list: leobet@snowhill.com I can't think of anything else to add at this point. See you at the meeting Thursday night. N4JAG Rick The truth is out there.
