[GVARC] Last GVARC meeting highlights and request for help in refurbishing the new cabinet for W6GGF/R

[Frank Fahrlander]

Hi all,

If you missed last Saturday's meeting you missed something worth while. I
have pictures of the meeting I can share if you are interested. We had some
guests and we welcome them back as soon as possible.

First, we recognized Thom West, KD6CJX, who was recently awarded "Volunteer
of the Year" for the 2004 Garlic Festival by the president of the Garlic
Festival.  Congratulations Thom!  Great job!

Second, we had a presentation by Brian Woodson, KE6SVX, on the GVARC cabinet
replacement and the Radio Mobile programs for plotting RF propagation around
geographic terrain.  Both of these were very interesting and we had a lot of
interaction on both.  Brian brought his laptop and I borrowed a projector
from work and we showed the presentations on the wall.

We agreed to send $100 to the folks who helped find our new cabinet and also
reimburse Woody's gas expenses for hauling the cabinet back to Morgan Hill.
Thanks again Woody.

We need volunteers who can help us get the cabinet in shape for use at the
repeater site.  Can  anyone who would like to help please send me an e-mail
at frankf at garlic.com and let me know if you are willing to meet with us some
Monday, Wednesday or Friday evening about 7:30 to see the cabinet and do
some planning.

   Thanks,  frank
