Hi Group,

The Tech.  Net will be held Wednesday evening at 7:00 PM local.  I will 
host the net on the NCARC repeater 145.115.  Judging from a few 
conversations I have heard on the air it is time to re-address the issue 
of power flow.

The Tech.  Net is an open forum gathering to discuss the technology both 
in amateur radio and the technology with in our homes.  The more 
attendees the more diverse the conversation.

In addition to the outdoor shooting range on our 2.8 acre property, I will have horseshoes (game) out front near the patio/picnic/BBQ area.? I will be borrowing a roping practice steer (not a real steer) for anyone who wants to try roping.? I suggest that people park in the corral next to the garage to keep the shooting range clear of vehicles.? 

In order to get a head count of who's coming, send an RSVP to either rsq14emt at yahoo.com? or? kf4dus at gmail.com? or leave a voice mail on my cell phone 970-372-8023.

Hope to see many show up.? We didn't have a picnic last year, so I'm making every effort to have one this year and hopefully have more functions up here as well.

President Chris and all NCARC members:


We still need some volunteers for the Old Flowers 10K Run on Saturday,
August 27th.
Need 6 to 8 operators for this event which supports the Stove Prairie School
and Rist Canyon VFD.
Operation is on 2 meter simplex with the Buckhorn repeater as backup and
talk-in.

This is an early morning event and operators need to be at the Stove Prairie
School between 6 and 6:30 am.
It is about a 45 minute drive from Ft. Collins (north up County Rd 27 from
Masonville or west on County Rd 52 from Bellvue).
The event is usually over by 10am (plenty of time to make the NCARC Picnic).

At the last NCARC meeting, several operators stated that they would be able
to support this but I did not write down the names at that time (oops).
Please send an e-mail to me at whatley at frii.com or reply via the reflector
if you can assist with this event.

I will make an announcement on the ARES net this week also.



Below is the text from the Old Flowers Run website.  There appears to be
some typos in it but the main details are there.

This is the second year that the Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department along
with Stove Prairie School are organizing together a Family Run Day (10K run,
5K run, 5K walk and a Kids mile run) to aid in raising money for both
organizations. The school budget will be reduced again for the year 2011-12,
and we are in the risk of being closed last year.  With the Crystal Fire,
the Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department has significant expenses already
this wildland season. Your participation in the 10-K run and/or any
contribution of cash donation will be greatly appreciated.   The run is
capped to 100 participants who will receive a T-shirt donated by Healthy
Kids Club.  Note:  No strollers or dogs allowed.

Course:
 
The run starts and finishes at Stove Prairie School at the intersection of
Rist Canyon Rd and Stove Prairie Road. Old Flowers road is a dirt road
surrounded beautiful views of the hills; however it is a very flat run with
only 400ft gain on altitude in the highest point. This is a public road on
private properties. The run starts by going through Stove Prairie Ranch. At
the Steadman Ranch is the 5K run and walk turn around. The 10K runners will
keep going through the Vannorsdel Ranch to Sky Corral Ranch where the
turnaround is. There will be water available every 1.5 miles during the run.
One water station at 1.5 mile from the start, the second one at the
turnaround point at 3 miles from the start, and then you will pass through
the first station again at 1.5 miles from the finish line.

???? Don't forget about the NCARC Picnic this Saturday at my house, 6712 W County Rd 38E, Loveland, CO 80538? 970-225-1714 home phone.? Those of you that would be participating in the Old Flowers Run should consider coming to the picnic right after for a good time.? From Stove Prairie Rd, continue towards Masonville on CR 27, past the Masonville Mercantile on the right hand corner of CR 27 (Buckhorn Rd) and CR 38E.? Continue on W CR 38E.? When the speed limit changes back to 35 mph again, look to the left and turn left after my neighbors horse stables through the first gate by the mailbox or the second gate in front of the three door garage.? Both gates will have neon green signs with NCARC on them.? Park in the corral net to the garage. If you have a favorite lawn chair, bring it as I don't have many chairs.? Shooting range in the back, horseshoes and a roping practice steer out front near the picnic/BBQ area.? Suggested donation to the
 club will be $5 to help offset cost of food.

Send an email to me either here on the reflector or rsq14emt at yahoo.com or kf4dus at gmail.com

There will be horseshoes, steer (fake) roping, shooting range, FOOD, FOOD, FOOD, good fun.? If you miss it and don't have any other place to go, it's your own fault.? We'll start firing up the grills at 10 am and wait for the sun to go down before the gates shut.?

????? Thank you to everyone who came to the picnic at my house.? I think everyone had a good time.? Thanks also to everyone who helped.? Linda Jungmeier procured the food, Willy (W5WIW) loaned some tables and chairs, Bill Abbott did all the website work that I didn't know how to do, including providing a nice picture of the property to make it easier to find.? Thanks to "Chef" Eugene, who flipped some burgers and brats.? He found my hammock to be most agreeable and took a well deserved break.? Tim helped set up the extra tables.? Thanks to Ryan and his brilliant idea of using a giant tarp to catch the brass on the shooting range and thus not leave a mess on the property.? They, the shooters, also checked for stray brass that didn't land on the tarp.? The range was safely run and no accidents occurred.? Seventy dollars was collected from the donation can and was given to the club president Chris.? Again thanks to all and I'm looking
 forward to having next years picnic here as well.

Hi,
  I'm looking for pictures of the fun ham related activities this month such
as the Bike race or the Picnic.

  OJ sent me a couple already.

 *ALSO* If you would be so kind as to reduce the byte count of the pictures
before you send them.   My mailbox tends to crash when folks send me huge
files.   If you want a quick tutorial on how to do this (and it is super
simple and easy...   don't even need a photo editor) send me an e-mail and
I'll send you the document I created just for such occasions.
