[NLRS] NLRS web site updates & request for help

[tosca005 at umn.edu]

Hello, all.

Over the July 4th weekend, I **FINALLY** managed to put some time into 
updating the NLRS web site. I concentrated on the time-sensitive material 
which was badly out of date, like the breakfast schedule that was a year 
old, and the calendars that stopped at the end of 2008, and such things.

I have many lame excuses for why the updates are so far behind schedule, 
but among them include a large block of email messages that seem to have 
been lost when my old computer died and was replaced with a new one, and 
not keeping real active with the club or with amateur radio recently with a 
few exceptions.

Anyway, I would appreciate it if folks could look over the pages and let me 
know what things I've missed in the update. Some things that I am thinking 
are still potentially wrong (from top of page to bottom) include:
  1) Club officers for 2008-2009, do I have the current ones listed?
  2) Calendar pages, any glaring omissions or errors in the 2009-2010
     monthly pages that were recently added?
  3) Aurora 2009, does anyone have pictures to share? At this time, there
     is not even a placeholder page, but I will put one together.
  4) Antenna measurement results, I have none since 2006 at this time, do
     later results exist, and if so, could someone send them to me, even if
     you sent them before?
  5) Have there been any "10 GHz Gathering/Picnic" events since 2000 that
     you have pictures for?
  6) Anyone want to share pictures or writeups for the last few years' 10 
GHz
     contests? If you have your own public web site I could simply put up a
     link to that, or if you have pictures or words, I will be happy to put
     something together. I do have some photos of my own, so SOMETHING 
should
     eventually show up here...
  7) SBMS 2 GHz and Up Contest -- does anyone know about our standings in 
the
     2008 contest?
  8) Microwave Gatherings since 2003? Antenna measurement results?
  9) Breakfast schedules, do I have them correct for this year and next?
 10) Weekly NLRS nets -- I remembered the change in frequency for the 2M 
net,
     but otherwise I am doubtful I have the current information on who runs
     which net so folks know where to point...
 11) Weekly nets to our East (in Wisconsin) -- I don't think I'm even close
     to correct any longer...
 12) Contest standings, claimed scores, etc. -- many are empty, and some
     of the mail traffic went into that black hole when I switched to a
     new PC. Not sure if it's worth trying to re-build, especially in view
     of ARRL on-line results reporting availabilty...
 13) All the database-driven results seem to be broken, something is amiss
     with the PHP server I guess, I'll contact the web host separately about
     that problem.
 14) ARRL Web Reports for 2007 UHF contest and 2007 10 GHz & Up contest
     seem to be non-existent. If anyone knows differently, please send me
     a URL for those, because I couldn't find them.
 15) Fall Sprints: if anyone knows of rules/dates for 2009, please let me
     know. Maybe it has been mentioned on a different VHF mail reflector
     that I don't subscribe to, or somewhere else. It's not on their web
     site as far as I can tell.
 16) SBMS 2 GHz & Up Contest: does anyone have a picture of the 2006 plaque?
     Does anyone know where the 2005 results are? Has anyone leaked the
     results of the 2008 contest?
 17) RoverMania VI for 2009 -- I've posted what I have, but updates are
     certainly welcome right up to the event.
 18) Mike King's (KM0T) VHF Helper -- does it exist any more?

As always, input is appreciated. Try to be gentle, I do my best... :(
