Sorry again for the late notice. My son is moving to Tennessee and the 
moving date has been changing. It appears that he is not moving this 
weekend but next,  we will have a workshop this Saturday but not next 
Saturday (June the 5th).  Here is the usual announcement:

The Radio Theory and Construction Workshop will meet Saturday, May 29, 2004 
in the basement of the Red Cross Building at 1450 Newtown Pike, Lexington, 
KY. The basement entrance is on the Left side of the building if you are 
looking at the front (Newtown Pike side) of it.The Workshop will begin at 
1:00PM and continue until 3:00PM. This workshop is for anyone interested in 
the subject of radio theory or construction. Anyone may join the workshop 
at any time. This workshop does not really have a beginning or
an end. It is a continuing effort to help those that are interested in 
knowing more about the internal workings of radios (receivers, transmitters 
and antennas) and/or building them. A ham license is not required and there 
are no age restrictions. I encourage young students to participate. 
Participants will have to obtain their own tools and they will need to 
purchase a beginner's radio kit (AM-550K). I have kits in stock so you will 
not have to wait. Just pay me for the kit and I'll order another to replace 
it. That way we will have some always available for new participants.

The Bluegrass Amateur Radio Society's Youth Education Program (Y.E.P.) can 
provide "Now You're Talking" books for students up thru the 12th grade 
participating in our "Introduction to Amateur Radio" and books, kits, tools 
and parts for those in the "Radio Theory and Construction Workshop" at no 
cost. This kit cost about $20 and it is perfect for learning soldering, 
component identification and basic radio theory.

If you wish to join our workshop please e-mail me so that I can add you to 
our list. I have a short questionnaire to get some information about your 
interest, experience and knowledge level. If you cannot be contacted by 
e-mail call me in the evening at
(859) 272-9523 and I will add you to a phone list. This is necessary 
because we do not hold the workshop every weekend due to other obligations, 
vacation, hamfest and license exam sessions.
