Ken,

How about some lessons learned so it doesn't happen the next time?  I am glad you prevailed and the event came off well! thanks for the support.

All 

I just wanted to comment on the event today.  We had a rough few minutes getting started but once we did, I thought things went well overall, especially with Communications. We could have used a few more operators (we had 15) but things went well.  I want to thank all those who participated & those who loaned equipment.  Without you our event would not have been as great as it was so thanks.

We would appreciate the equipment. Can we set up a time to get it?

At one stage of the game, the club had a pop-up.  Let me check to see if it is at the base station.  If not I may be able to borrow one from my church.

My portable two meter antenna and 15 foot mast is available.

Unfortunately on the 19th I will be on my way to Fort Worth.
