John, Frank and all McHUGgers,

I have had a change of plans and must go out of town Saturday and Sunday so
won't be able to do breakfast on Saturday, April 5th.  BUT I will be in town
Friday night April 4th, so how does Stables sound - starting at 6:30 or
whenever you can get there?  We don't usually go past 9 pm because that's
the time what we fondly call the "40 meter band" starts up and you can't
hear yourself think.  XYLs welcome.  Will bring BareBones Boards.  Let me
know if you can make it and I'll call in a reservation Thursday afternoon.

By the way, it sounds like Steve is doing great with Arduino code downloaded
for the Si570.

73s,
Rich, N3III
