[HCRA] Rookie Roundup is only a few days away.

[Mike N0HI]

The N0HI station is open here in Feeding Hills to any interested 
rookie.  The big new addition is the first 40m vertical of what will 
become a 4sq on the side lawn (or at least a 2-end spitfire).  It's loud 
on 40 and good on 80 and at about 40' tall really makes the neighbors 
jealous.  The usual antennas for the other bands are still up and status 
quo.  Let me know tonight or tomorrow if you are interested.  My logging 
computer bit the dust, so the logging would be on a makeshift laptop, 
but still fully-interfaced N1MM with all the bells and whistles.

You can reach me 413-426-6850 or mike at n0hi.net.  I'll be spending 
tonight at work in light of some emergency staffing issues, so don't 
hesitate to call at any time.  Seriously...I'd rather give the antennas 
and radios a work out rather than just let them sit.
