  Hi, Jim:

  I feel that your presentation at a Mesh meeting would be marvelous.
We meet at either DARA clubhouse or Bellbrook ARC clubhouse on second 
Saturdays at 09:30-11:30.
Normally even months at DARA and odd months at BARC.
DARA has license classes in October, so we will likely again meet at 
BARC next month.
I think we can easily schedule your hour in lieu of our BOGSAT sub-group 
time.

  Oh, yeah, now that you mention it, my service is grounded but not 
Spectrum cable and
my (unused) telephone cables. I think I'll disconnect my home from the 
telephone service box.

Chuck
