[HBQRP] RE: Ak-Sar-Ben program and Web site problems.

[Piatt, Darwin]

Morning Arnie;
Thanks for the note..
Lets see, first, no matter what, do come to the meeting and bring stuff..
I was going to take my 703 and an MFJ rig and my OHR 20 meter rig with a couple of Pixies and the Tuna Tin II and a sudden receiver.
Joe said he would bring his Kx-1 and his 817.
Don’t remember what Darrel said he would bring. Maybe his Sierra and I think he has a NorCal 40.
Darrel is working on a power point presentation.
We could use a SW-30 or similar and a rock-mite or two.

.- I've been playing and think I can start back on the web site and get it going again... so many projects, so little time

Hi Darwin,

I think I will be able to make it to the Ak-Sar-Ben meeting.  Found (was told) that
I have one more personal holliday that I need to take before the end of the year or I loose it.

I should be able to bring along some radios for display.  I can
bring the Elecraft KX-1 and K-1 rigs.  I also have the FT-817 and
IC-703, I could bring but I suspect that the others will be bringing
those.  We should get something organized so we don't have multipals of
the same rig at the presentation.

I have not started on my BiTX20a kit yet.  Been waiting for the documentation to finalize and
also I have been expecting to get my K-3 'sometime soon' and didn't
want to have the BiTX20 on the workbench when the K-3 gets here.

If the K-3 is not here by the time of the meeting in Ashland I might bring 
the BiTX20 down to start to work on it.

OH, also about the web site... I wonder if the problem you are having 
with working on it is your computer keyboards key-map.   I see you are
sending some 'odd' characters in each of the mailings you send out.

Here's a line out of your last message as an example...

DX’ers see how much fun we have ☺

After the letters DX I am seeing the letter "a" with a "^" mark over it, a
C shaped thing with an equal's mark in the center of it, and the letters TM up 
in the location of an exponetial number.  Then I see "ers" and "see how much fun we have"
and then the "a" thing with a "^" mark over it a thing that looks like a small "~" and an
'o' that looks like a degree indicator.

They have been showing up in your e-mails for a while now.. maybe thats why you can't
access your web page???

Hope that helps.. it would be very nice to have the web page working again so I could
direct interested parties to it.
