[NLRS] RAGBRAI and CSVHF (again?)

[Fred Spinner]

For some strange reason, my reply to the NLRS list (which I get as a digest) went back through my provider as HTML only and not HTML-Text (which I think are my only options with my webmail service) and it reflector stripped off the HTML so it showed as a blank message.  I suspect it's because I cut a little piece out of the digest.  Someone suggested that this also happened on the microwave list, but I can clearly see my replies propagating through that list so I'm not sure what is meant by that.

I use a webmail service as I really only get on the net during down times at work and SMTP is, of course, blocked here.

So here is a repost, hopefully in plain text.  It's specified as so in the editor on the webmail site. What I said is that it is a big deal here because in the 40 year history CR has only been on the RAGBRAI route once-- it was a stopover then, about 30 years ago.  It will be a zoo regardless.

Oh and it's coming through the same part of town as the hotel.

Definitely support the conference hotel, the Clarion has always treated hams well here unlike most of the other hotels tried.

However, especially if you wait too long, it's on a hotel row and there are other options at that exit and within a 5-10 minute drive.  If you wait too long, I charge more than $93/nt for my garage and it's 20 miles away and not nearly as comfortable.  

RAGBRAI is such a big deal here, that likely I'll say hi to you guys on Thursday and then go drinking with a bunch of college buddies at the stopover.  :O)  There also are a lot of hams on RAGBRAI so there should be a lot of opportunity of QSOs on 2,m/70cm FM.  I'm sure you are all thrilled by that.

Hopefully this posts.. if not, at least Jerry will see it.
