Curt,

The next club meeting is Monday, June 12th.

I have some simple dipoles that I could throw up if we have places to hook 
to.  I have a new multiband dipole for 160-80-40 mtrs that I have not put up 
yet and an old standby 40 meter dipole that I use all of the time and works 
very good too.  We should be in pretty good shape, at least for the lower 
bands (80-40-20 mtrs) anyway.

Talk to you later,

John, K3KWO
