[FADCA] Quarterly FADCA Meeting - Late April

[bud thompson]

At the February FADCA meeting (Hamcation 2005) I was directed to establish a general FADCA meeting/get together in the Orlando area for late April.  I can set this up, but do not want to spend time doing so unless the meeting will be reasonably well-attended.  The possible dates are:

Saturday April 23
Saturday April 30
Saturday May 7

I will be 'out of pocket' essentially after May 12 for a month.

I just heard from President Bill Sinbine N4XEO that he will be out of pocket "soon for five weeks".

I will need a quick straw poll on what dates (1st, 2nd choice) would be best for those who are interested.  Also need some guidance on agenda items of interest.  I have no special agenda for the meeting but perhaps through the e-mail reflector we can develop a worthwhile agenda with two or three individuals taking responsibility for leading/presenting topics.  

My current projects here in E. Central Florida include 

1. Getting the Daytona Beach ROSE backbone to St. Augustine back on the air.
2, Putting together and configuring a DOS FPAC computer for KA0OXH to install at Clermont
3. Getting the Orlando Switch moved to the new location.
4. Getting the Melbourne FPAC switch back on the air.

With luck, all these will be complete by May 1st.

Other topics I am interested in include - Getting more Telpac Nodes established on the LANs, getting more ARES folks on Paclink AGW or Airmail, and LINUX FPAC.

So, please take time now to indicate the following via e-mail:

I am interested in a meeting or I am not interested at this time.
