Hi Everyone (and Pat)

Thanks for the warm welcome - I'm def looking forward to being part of the  
K3PNZ family when our relocation takes place. In the mean time...

1) FB on the Hamfest activities in Timonium. I actually attended it last  
year and am very sorry to miss it this year. Looks like a great hamfest and  
a place I can pick up some things I will need going forward with my antenna  
plans. But I know that CCARC sponsors a Hamfest in (is it October?) so I  
look forward to pitching in and attending it.

2) Even though I will be in MD I will be working for the Exploratorium  
Museum of Science here in San Francisco. I do 3D modeling of prototype  
exhibits, which is much less expensive than building prototypes in real  
life. I do 99% of my work from home as it is, so changing coasts won't  
affect that. I've also done projects for the European Space Agency and did  
some consulting for the Smithsonian, so hopefully I can expand that too!

3) We are seriously considering going off-grid and using solar power at our  
new home, so if there is anyone in CCARC who has done this please email me  
off list - I would love to hear about your experiences. We plan on putting  
in a backup emergency generator in either case once we have a feeling for  
our peak load.

Well that's it for now - see you all in May or sooner!

Cheers,

Emily
