[W2CRA] CRA - Work Party

[cfm2ham at comcast.net]

Hi All, 

The previously planned work party for Bill's requested inventory of item # 2 below is now being planned for completion by the end of this month. Your assistance is urgently needed and requested. We will be categorizing the gear we find in the blockhouse and doing a bit of house cleaning of course. The sooner this is completed, the sooner we can sell the equipment and finance the upgrade of the 375 link! 

So far Nicole (KD2FDH) and I are signed up. The targeted day to do this work is 9/16, between 9:00 and 12:00. 9/23 is scheduled as a rain date. 

For those of you ready and able to assist, please contact me via email or my cell phone at 908-752-0824, to let me know you are ready to assist. 

For your info, the following is the prep list of equipment we might need in prep for this inventory. 

Needed: 

- 10 x 10 tarp - ( I have this covered, Chris) 
- work table - Bill has it at the site and all we need to do is carry over from his office 
- work gloves 
- Perhaps a hand truck for the heavy stuff - (I have this covered, Chris) 
- notepad or notebook 
- digi camera would come in handy too - ( I have this covered, Chris) 

I look forward to working with those who can volunteer their time and I thank you all in advance for your assistance. 

73, Chris

>2/ In order to finance the end-to-end refurb of 375 we are going to sell off all of the goodies we are sitting on in 
>our "blockhouse" at the county communications center. In order to do this we need a comprehensive inventory of all the 
>stuff we have stored there. Then I'll send the list to several at the hams that deal in older repeaters and the like 
>for competing bids on a "pick it up and take it all" basis. Depending on the responses we may make some selected 
>"goodies" available to club members so long as it is for personal use and not trade or E-Bay bait. 
>Looking for someone and 4 or so others to take up this task.
