Actually Mel Yanda is our newest member. (We welcomed Jim Leddon last month. Oh well. Welcome again!) Mel, KG4IXC, is an instructor pilot at Fort Rucker. Make him feel welcome when you hear him on the repeater. His e-mail address is: yanda@snowhill.com You won't have to add him to your club roster because we're sending out a new roster by snail-mail this month. You should get it in a few days. KL0LN has a new e-mail: jgarrison@alaweb.com I'm attaching a current list of all club member e-mail addresses to this newsletter. If you know of any errors or changes that need to be made, please let me know. Start making plans for our annual Christmas dinner. You can't plan much 'cause I don't know exactly when or where it will be yet - other than in December - but remember that we do have one. N4RYC is the project officer on it this year, so if you have any ideas, let him know. We'll probably be discussing it at this month's meeting too. I can't think of anything else right off hand, so that'll wrap it up. Remember to check out the EARS web page. If you have any ideas, let me know. 73 CU on the radio N4JAG Rick I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. And tomorrow isn't looking good either.
