[PVRCNC] Bert's fork usage vs Jack's arms

[J A Ritter]

Ahhh Most Magnificent Karnac was wrong!  Thanks to UCE's time in Asia
and under his tutelage N4CW does very well with Chop Sticks now...
Japanese Dinner was served under the requirement of "Proper Care and
Feeding of Hired Guns... (Bert does work for peanuts if the truth is
known) 

UCE had no slings however has much shorter finger nails...

On the totally serious side of things...
Many thanks to Guy K2AV for the tremendous improvements in UCE 160
Antennas. 

Z-SLOPE, FAN and BOGS are wonderful.  THANK YOU GUY!

73,
UCE

Subject: [PVRCNC] Minutes January 2005 PVRCNC (East)

Belated submission of January minutes.

January 2005 PVRCNC (East)

Attending: Guy K2AV; Bert N4CW; Tom N4TL; Will AA4NC; Jay NT4D; Jerry
KI4CCJ (1st meeting); Jeff NX9T; Jim K4QPL; Keith W4KAZ; Bob N2NFG;
Bob K4HA; Chuck K4NYS; Ron N4XD; Bill K4CIA;

BS:

K4CIA all agog about Peter Island. Karnac sez to get a grip, it's only
DX... (Expose': Karnac has it from the last time. Ask him who DIDN'T
get the VU4 and then duck...)

N4CW Worked the VU4, did multi in 160 test at W0UCE with Jack.
Computer quit keying rig at beginning of the contest and both of them
had to send everything by hand. Regardless of the strain, Bert seemed
to be using a fork OK. But Jack, according to Karnac, had both arms in
slings for over a week. QLF?

N4TL did the CQWW and SSCW. Involved in the transfer of PC
manufacturing assets from IBM to China.

AA4NC doing a lot of mobile operation over XMAS time. Visited W4PA.

NT4D not much progress on repairing crankup. Due to binding only able
to rotate antenna about five degrees per hour. Karnac wants to know
how Jay knew that ten hours hence he would need the beam on the
Caribbean. Psychic?

KI4CCJ first meeting for Jerry. Plans to be here next month for 2nd
meeting. Wife (not present) is KI4GMW. SHE is working on her extra
class.

NX9T has been traveling a lot. Also got the VU4. (Karnac just gave me
an uncomplimentary hand signal...temper, temper.)

N4XD used his new Orion (!!) in the 160 test. Has the INRAD 600 Hz
roofing filter. Very pleased. Karnac also had a lissen to that rig.
Had to pry him off. Apologies to Ron for all the slobber. Ron also got
the VU4. Ron celebrated the Stew Perry by stewing his Astron power
supply.

K4NYS is rebuilding (did not specify what). Has new roofing filter in
his MP. Also going mobile with new FT857D.

K4HA has been "goofing off". Karnac sez likely getting up at 5AM every
day to do it, too. Also doing a lot of packet cluster work.

K4QPL "dabbled" in the 160 and 10m tests. Full time in NAQP.

W4KAZ sez NAQP is his favorite. Told an interesting story about how to
copy HS5S at 55 wpm. Everything except his call?

N2NFG worked both the 10m and 160m tests using an 80m dipole off the
top of his tower. The tower is up to 40' but the brambles are climbing
faster. Note to confused history buffs, this is 8 feet per year
progress for a tower with 10 foot sections. You don't want to know
why.

Toward the end of the meeting KI4CCJ was treated to his inaugural
rendition (273rd overall for the club) of the "Who has the gin pole
now" food fight and sing-along. Karnac says that was done to the tune
of "99 bottles of beer on the wall", though the writer has no
recollection of any harmony.

Meeting sort of petered out after 7 pm.

Regards, Guy.
