[NLRS] NLRS Antenna Range date

As you know, the Antenna Range part of Aurora13 was cancelled due 
to the weather.  At the Business meeeting, we decided that June 
15th would be the "make-up" date.  Turns out that June 15th is 
the date for the monthly NLRS Breakfast since we move it to avoid 
the June VHF Contest.

This brings up a "minor" problem... do we do both Breakfast and 
Antenna Range, or do we skip Breakfast ?
I think we have two choices:
1)  we SKIP Breakfast and start the Antenna Range at 0900 at 
Mounds Park, running until 12 noon and then have a picnic as we 
have at past activities
2)  we DO have Breakfast (Old Country Buffet in Roseville) and 
THEN start the Antenna Range at 1100AM at Mounds Park.  We'll run 
the Range until 2PM.  Most likely NOT have a picnic afterward.

In either case, we'll run the 2m --1296 MHz range first (in that 
order), then 2.3 GHz --10 GHz.

Obviously, if we chose to "skip Breakfast," and you have no 
interest in the Range, please feel free to get together for 
Breakfast !  Some of us just won't be there.

I'd like to have a bit of discussion on the two choices above. 
We don't have to make a choice today, but we should talk about 
it.

Thanks.  Chat away.

PS  As always, if the WX is poor (rain -- I HOPE we don't worry 
about snow then) we'll have to cancel.  Running the generator in 
the rain (or shortly after a lot of rain) isn't safe; and rain 
does bad things to the equipment.  We'll worry about this later.
