[HBQRP] First meeting of the year - and Shack Cleaning

[Arnie Grubbs]

Hi Group!

Next weekend is the first meeting of the HBQRP group for 
the '09 year... I hope that everyone will be able to make it!

I am wondering if there is going to be anything special going
on at this meeting or if it is going to be a 'work' on our
current/on going projects meeting?

Anyhow -  

I am planning on getting rid of some shtuff I have around the
'shack'...  I have a Zetron 35M commercial Auto patch that
I will GIVE to someone who can use it.  This is a stand alone
microprocesser based controler that will work as either a Full duplex, Half duplex, or
as a simplex "sampling" Auto patch, complete with DTMF programmable CW ID, 
time out timers, passwords, and some autodial memories.
It can also be programmed to allow ringouts/reverse patches
under DTMF password control.

Also, for those of you who want to experiment with toner transfer PCB
etching, I have an HP laserjet II printer with a new in the
box toner cartridge.  Even though the printer has been discontinued
the Drivers for various windows and info/manuals still are available on
HP's web site, and toner refills are still available from what I understand.

First one who speaks for either of these can pick it up
at the meeting.  If no one wants either one of these,
it will go in the garbage. I don't want to bring them
down to the meeting if I am just going to have to toss them.

I might have a few other goodies to get rid of too, if I can
finish cleaning out the shack by then!

73 - and happy new year!
