[K3CAL] Prince Frederick Library display

[Monica]

Thank you Jim, Shawn, and Dave.  Great suggestions!

Yes, the librarian would allow us to get into the case if we need to.  I 
wanted to make the point that anyone's items will be under lock and key 
and not subject to removal by sticky fingers.  Only ham-fisted fingers 
that need their equipment.  And if anyone needs their loaned equipment 
before the end of June, I would gladly go and get the item(s) and return 
them personally.

Dave took pictures of the first display we did, so I will ask him to 
post through email what the display looked like.

Off the top of my head, I can tell you that Ed and I did lend the 
Hallicraft S53 shortwave radio, the FT 450,  the Raspberry Pi, several 
ham magazines, and my biography of Marconi. Dave H lent his red Baofeng 
UV5R hand-held.  Peter lent a capacitor.  We also included the safety 
vest and the club t-shirt.  Shawn also lent a CW paddle.  This is NOT a 
complete list of what people lent.  More to follow...

I printed a new set of all the pages that I created for the triptych and 
mounted them on yellow/green safety colored poster board because the 
triptychs would not fit into the showcase.  Dave and I slid the poster 
boards behind the shelving and up the back of the case to secure them 
with heavy duty tape.  That case has non-removable shelves, which made 
it difficult to display any 3-D items taller than about 14 inches per shelf.

I can also lend all the screws that are rattling around my brain while I 
try to remember without the photo what else we included.

Dave--photos of PF??

Thank you!

Monica
