We hope to have the RF port on the Packet BBS back up pretty soon. Thanks to those that helped dig the whole last Saturday: KE4VEP, KL0LN, N4RYC, N4MBQ, KD4KT, K4HKR, WA4YQT, KD4IDG and KA4AFI. Special thanks to KE4VEP for getting us the cement to secure it for free. de N4JAG ? DO YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS ? I cannot find the Club's Blue and White nylon climbing belt. It was last seen in Buck's storage building. If you know where it is, let me know. Jerry, N4RYC. ------------------------------------------------------ Electronic Edition: As of Sunday afternoon, the weather has held up any further work on the tower at ESJC. Plans now are to finish it up Tuesday afternoon after KE4VEP gets off work. (Sometime around 3 PM.) Please listen to the repeater and try to be available to help, weather permitting. The UHF repeater has been sent back up to Eufaula for some serious work. I'll keep you posted on what we find out. Field Day is coming up pretty quick. Need to start thinking about whether or not we'll participate again this year. If so, I sure liked last year's location. I'm sure we'll discuss it at the meeting.
