[GVARC] Save GVARC a couple hundred and have

[Tony]

an adventure.

    Last Sat, GVARC voted to buy a portable, lightweight, crankup tower. It 
should be ready from Force 12 on about 16 April.

    Shipping from F12 to Gilroy costs between $150 to $250. We can save 
that if someone from the club would go to Paso Robles with a small pickup 
truck and truck it on back to Gilroy. GVARC would, of course, pay for gas.
    I'll bet Tom, N6BT, the founder of Force 12, would give you a tour of 
the plant and tell you a couple of good stories (the adventure part).

    The tower is a little under 9 feet long and only weighs about 100 lbs. 
We may also save more by not requiring the shipping crate.

    So, who has a truck and a little time for an adventure? Please contact 
me if you can help out.

Thanks, Tony

===================
P.S. We plan on using the tower with the club beam and rotator at a local 
function May 1st, Field Day for sure, and, because it's EASY, other times 
throughout the year.
