MEETING ROOM CHANGE

Due to maintenance work being done at ESJC, the May
meeting will be held upstairs in Room 204, in the main 
Administration Building at ESJC. The Admin building 
is the large two-story building you face as turn onto 
the campus. I'm not sure if the June meeting will be 
held here as well - just watch the newsletter. de 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.

Electronic Edition:



PACKET RACKET / APRS

As you probably know, the RF port on the packet BBS is still
down. We may soon have an RF port open on a new BBS
located at the Dale County EMA. The situation at ESJC is still
unknown as of this writing. I'll keep you posted as the situation
progresses. 

We are still 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 me, N4JAG.



FOR SALE

15,000 BTU 120 volt window AC for $100. 
Looks rough but works fine. 
Call Jerry, N4RYC, at 347-4650.



Don't forget to put Saturday, 24 June on your calendar.
(Well, actually, the day is already ON your calendar.
Unless you have a really strange calendar with days
missing!) Anyway, just put a big star or something on
that date. That is the beginning of Field Day, and we 
are still planning the cookout at WA4WQW's QTH.
No-one has said anything about it, but I would guess
that we'll need a rough idea of how many persons
will attend so we're certain to buy enough food. 
So - tell someone you're gonna be there! This is for
all local area Hams, not just EARS members, so spread
the word.


I think that's about it. If you want your message in our
newsletter, send an e-mail to N4RYC. Or call him on the
phone, or talk to him in person, or....you get the idea.

CU on the radio.
