<div dir="ltr">Hello KD0YLR, et al,<div><br></div><div>Nice job on the agenda and notes. Seems my rekindled interest in Amateur Radio, and re-joining the TCRC, happened just a tidge too late to find out about that first meeting.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It's been many years, but I intend to attend Field Day this year.</div><div><br></div><div>I have a couple weird thoughts to throw into the fray:</div><div><br></div><div>Depending on how many people y'all think will attend the BBQ on Saturday evening, I was thinkin' I could bring my smoker down and make Pork Loin (aka "Baby Back") Ribs. That is, if it's not too cannibalistic for hams to eat pork. (Warning: all puns to follow will be approximately that bad.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>From the <u>FD 2014 1st email to committee.pdf</u>:</div><div>"8) Networked computer with N1MM software for logging."</div><div>I do have spare WiFi gear that I can lend. But I was also wondering if there might not be some additional geek-pride in using ham-specific networking. Namely, an HSMM mesh of nodes running in the upper end of our 23cm band. For reference, please see<br>
</div><div><a href="http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/">http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/</a><br></div><div>I'm willing to do some research and experimentation on the subject. My hunch is it's a long shot... but it might be cool.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As for my intended participation, way way back in the farm-on-a-hill days, my tendency was to help erect towers, help setup log network, operate SSB a little, take a tour, have dinner, operate SSB a little more, and go home. Then I'd show up on Sunday in time for teardown. I expect this year will be much like those.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Only once did I pull the all-nighter, and I'm not aiming to do that again.</div><div><br></div><div>Happy Trails, y'all, and 73,</div><div>--</div><div>KDO</div><div>n0mql</div><div><br></div></div>
