[McHUG] Meet And Eat -- This Sunday Nov 22

[Pat Kilroy]

Rich and all,

Yes. All are invited to my backyard, in which 
case we can use all the pure helium that we 
want. E-mail me individually for my street 
address. Let's go with Sunday afternoon. 

How does a 1:00 PM gather time sound ??? 

[Thanks for copying me separately because 
your info is so timely. I am on the MCHUG 
list in Digest mode; there is a delay.] 

Do we have a launch queue? Who all is 
building a PICetSat module, new or old 
type, to launch on Sunday or later? 

Description? 

Cheers,

Pat

Pat,

I'd like to try a launch Sunday afternoon - early enough to fox hunt 
or whatever before J&P. That way Saturday could be devoted to 
chores, etc. or maybe fine-tuning a PICetSat Lite or two.
