[Lhilgers at comcast.net]

Hello Bill,this is Devin KI6JGH and I am very sorry I have missed a couple meetings I'm in Rhode Island and will be returning in 2 days.I was wondering if you could change the email you send the club email from what it is now to ki6jgh at gmail.com In other news for my birthday I got a hustler 5btv trap vertical and despite trap verticals bad rap I put 6 radials on 20 meters mounted it at 45 feet and worked V73RY in the marshall islands.
                                                               73, to all de KI6JGH

> barrel connectors and another to Tap Plastic to locate a larger and stronger
> panel.  With the help of Frank, W6DXA's step-drill, holes were punched in
> the new panel and we now have a 36-position patch bay.  18 antenna locations
> and 18 equipment locations, with a few borrowed for antenna tuners.  There
> are spare positions, but it is amazing how quickly it is filling up.

> Does anyone have a label machine?  Omar KQ6IG (who may be returning after a

> Also, don't know if you have noticed but the days are truly getting shorter.

> Perhaps we can take an inventory and see what needs to be done to put the
> antennas back in the air.

> If you'd like to call the clubhouse, the number is 382-8135 and my number is
> 415-456-4481.  I'll also be listening to the 146.775 repeater if you'd like
