[NLRS] MidWinter Maddness Report

[W0ZQ at aol.com]

Hello NLRS land.   
 
We had 26 sign-ins at the NLRS club table yesterday.   It was  nice to see 
everyone, have some eyeball QSOs, and plot & plan the summer  away on the World 
Above 50MHz.   I brought my old 10 gig FM units for  show & tell, Glen brought 
his 817 + 222 transverter, and Bob & Donn  brought their 10 and 24 gig 
systems which prompted lots of  questions.    Donn also had a nice display that 
shows a map of  the greater Twin Cities area and how we use Downtown for our 10gig 
net.
 
Speaking of displays, our NLRS banner is a bit beat-up being a paper  
printout only, so we've had some discussions regarding something a bit more  
professional ..... more on this at Aurora.    
 
Overall, the MidWinter attendance seemed to be down.   Perhaps it  was the 
snow.   None the less, the club table once again had good  activity.
 
PS:   Ed, WB0VHF, you won one of the grand prizes at the final  drawing so 
make sure you get a hold of them.
 
73, Jon.
