Hi All,

Today, I spoke with the owner of Ye Ol' Cobb Island Filling Station, Jack
Saunders.  Jack has confirmed our use of his property for our setups for
Cobb Island Day. It had previously been arranged between Ms. Potts and
Mr. Saunders, however I feel better speaking directly with the source and
receiving confirmation.  Further, I mentioned that we wish to set up
beginning midday the Friday before.  He will drive by the property
several times through the day, and when he sees us, he will open the
building to allow us access to the electrical source.  He has several 15
amp plugs, which should suffice for the ARK and the ARC.  (ok, ARK is the
Abernethy RV and the rest is of course the Amateur Radio Club).  So, I'll
be there mid afternoon on Friday and hope to see any early comers.

Regarding Field Day, I phoned and dropped by several times to meet with
Sgt. Hemsley of the National Guard.  Unfortunately, I keep missing him. 
Persistence will pay, and let us hope for the availability of a General
Purpose Medium tent.  More on that later.

Who knows the Cobb Island IOTA?  I once had it on file, but my recovery
methods are lacking.  Any help here?
