[MRCG] August 17 MRCG mini-meet at Fort McArthur - heliographs?

[mac]

Richard,

One of our former participants, Bart Rowlett, W6HQK, was a heliograph  
collector and enthusiast but unfortunately he died about a year ago.   
You would certainly be welcome at the Ft. this coming Saturday though  
and I'm sure our participants would be interested in any equipment you  
might want to exhibit and/or demonstrate.  Most people will be out  
operating out in the field in the morning but will have returned to  
the Ft. by 11:30 or noon.
