[NLRS] Invitation to AU2012 May 12th

[Bill Davis]

Hello All



 I can see leaves on a few trees, small, but leaves none the less. 
We have had two thunderstorms in the last two weeks as well. I even worked Gary W0GHZ on 10GHz rainscatter using FM with almost full quieting. What all of this means is that something like spring is here and AU2012 is close at hand. Yep only 8 days away.

Many of your fellow members of the NLRS have been quietly working 
to pull together a day of visitation and renewal for all of those that 
attend. For those working in the "background" to make this happen, Thank You one and all. 


I would like to take this chance to also thank all of our 
presenters for their willingness to take the time and effort in putting 
together what I think will be great technical program. Please consider 
joining us at the First Lutheran Church in White Bear MN  on May 12th. 
The outdoor events run from 9am-noon and the technical program begins at 1pm. The technical program is as follows::

	* John Pope, WA0VPJ   --- The Evolution of a Limited Rover
	* Donn Baker, WA2VOI -- Microwave propagation & ducts
	* Jon Platt, W0ZQ - 10GHz Contest -- Lake Superior in August
	* NLRS Business Meeting & Elections
	* Jim Froemke, K0MHC  --- NLRS Weak Signal Promotion Toolkit
	* Jim Froemke, K0MHC -- Reducing QSO Uncertainty Factors
	* Barry VE4MA --- 1296MHz SS Power Amplifiers
