[SMCARA] Air conditioner donated to SMCARA!

Hi Folks,

  I am continually amazed at the generosity and willingness to help of our
amateur radio community members.  Yesterday, Mark Dayton (KB3SEP)
donated and installed a brand new air conditioner at the repeater site
in Hermanville.  We are cooled down and less humid in the building now! 
See related story and pictures on the club web site at
www.qsl.net/smcara in the 'SMCARA Year in Review' section.

  I really appreciate all of you who notified me of possible units that
were available for donation to resolve our problem at the repeater site
and thank you for your support.  We elected to go with a new unit due to
the energy savings design of the latest units and because we were able
to locate a properly sized air condition that would fit into the
concrete wall opening of the equipment shelter without too much work.

  Again, thank you all and see you at Field Day.

  Vr, Pete (WA3UMY)
      President, SMCARA
