Subject: BARS Meeting Next Thursday


>Please remember the BARS meeting is next Thursday at 7:30 at the 
>Bloomingdale West recreation center. Items of importance to be 
>discussed at the business meeting are controller types for the 
>Brandon repeaters, Field Day (no, it's not too soon) and the usual 
>business of the club. 
>
>I was planning on bringing my AO40 satellite portable station but the 
>satellite is not going to be in a suitable location and all we would hear 
>is noise. I will however bring my portable set up that will be used at 
>the BARS/TARC picnic on March 22. 
>
>The BARS/TARC picnic will be a new experience for the "seasoned" 
>members of BARS. I an excited about it for several reasons not the 
>least of these are the methods used by the TARC club to generate 
>activities for the good of the club and the enjoyment of it's members. 
>I think we could learn much from them. 
>
>There are other activities that could be planned in the near future. 
>I would like to suggest a "pre field day" exercise at Davis Park 
>on the 25th or 26 th of April. I believe this is the weekend of the 
>Florida QSO party. Any of you could correct me if I'm wrong. 
>We could set up some battery powered portable equipment and 
>some of the "wire" field day antennas. I have a new wire antenna 
>that I purchased at the recent estate sale and would like to try it out 
>for possible use at Field Day. I can't use it at home because of 
>it's length. 
>
>I could skull up some cold drinks and chips and dip. I'm not particularly 
>interested in cooking but if someone else is, I could bring some 
>hot dogs, hamburgers and the fixins'. 
>
>Does anyone else have any ideas? If so, please make them known. 
>
>See you next Thursday!!!!!!!
