The location Don refers to is the Middletown Campus of  Miami

little earlier and see the BUV.

Subject: BUV in the news

Greetings To All,

         This is an update on the Engineering Technology Basic Utility 
Vehicle. I received several responses from some of you regarding the BUV 
and I am happy to report the national  award winning BUV will be here, on 
the Middletown campus, Wednesday, May 4th from 2:00 to 6:00PM.
         Stop by and see this amazing piece of equipment. The senior 
engineering technology students responsible for building the BUV will be on 
hand to answer questions, sign autographs, and pose for pictures. Remember 
folks, this is a whistle stop tour and after 6:00PM Wednesday it will be 
gone for good.
         Bring the kids, bring the neighbors, bring the dog, come on out 
and see this marvel of  engineering technology, one day and one day only, 
right here on the patio of Johnston Hall. Bring your cameras and your 
autograph hounds, you don't want to miss this wonderful opportunity.
         Below is a link to the web site of the sponsor of the event. Click 
on it to see what the competition is all about. Thanks for your interest in 
the project and I hope to see you on the patio Wednesday afternoon.

Ed Thornsburg, KF8PD, asked me to invite the members of the Butler County 
VHF Association and  ARES
to the next DIAL meeting to discuss Field Day setup.  Ed indicated that the 
discussion would occur after our regular meeting.

The next DIAL meeting will be at the Golden Corral Buffet & Grill, located 
at 3350 Village Drive, Franklin, OH, in the Towne Mall area.  We usually 
begin to gather about 6 pm for dinner and the business meeting begins about 7.

In addition the BCVHFA and ARES members invited herein, we'd also like to 
see any DIAL members that may have a particular interest in Field Day 
activities.

Hope I hit everything Ed had in mind.

Last night, on the Jay Leno show, there was a competition between text 
messaging and Morse communication.  If you missed the show, here's a link 
to a replay of the competition.  I think you'll really like Jay's comment 
at the end of the clip.

The file is large and will take some time on dial-up.  About the middle, it 
may pause to load additional information, depending on the speed of your 
connection and available memory.

See it through!!
