[FCARC] club related items to pass along

[Craig Szczublewski]

1. The county is performing maintenance on the tower and rearranging some of the 
hard line, including our antenna feed.  This going to happen Monday, August 6th, 
but we are not 100% certain what time or what the duration will be.  With the 
backup repeater offline, we will not have anything on 147.195 for the day.  We 
are considering relocating the main repeater to the backup repeater site for the 
day, but we are not sue if it is worth the effort if it is only for one day.  
We'll keep you updated as best we can.

2. With Dave Nelson recovering from his recent surgery, I have been asked to 
fill in the role as VEC Liaison for our team for the next few months.  The ARRL 
has approved this change and I regret to say that my first act will be to cancel 
our normal testing session for the end of August since I will be in Toronto that 
day.  I would like to think taking one month off our regular schedule should not 
be that big of deal since we do not have anyone scheduled yet anyhow.  I will 
plan on contacting the ARRL on Monday to adjust our schedule on their website.  
I will also post a message to the club website indicating this action as well.

Last, for a good laugh:

the aspect ratio is painful, but the audio is worth the watch.
