[MRCA] MRCA Meet Activity Poll

[Radio Station KW1I]

The 2019 MRCA Meet is two weeks away.  Please send to kw1i at earthlink.net whether you plan to attend this year. I have already heard from some, but would like to get as many responses as possible in order to get badges produced.
Some minor schedule modifications are being considered. Exact timing has not firmed up, but we are planning for the Friday night cookout at the Howell Bldg to be a little earlier so that it can be wrapped up to give us 1-1.5 hours to allow a radio activity period after dinner. The next morning in a similar fashion we are going to have breakfast at the Howell Bldg a little earlier to provide time for a morning radio activity before the fleamarket becomes a major distraction.

Here are some equipment focused candidate activities that can be included in the Friday afternoon comm ops or one of the proposed periods either Friday evening or Saturday morning.  Please reply with your interest in participating in specific activities and include any questions, suggestions and comments.
