<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Great and Yum! I was wishing I could figure out a way to
serve ribs! That will go well with our base menu of burgers and brats. Not sure
of our numbers yet but we can keep an eye on that. Don't worry about missing the
first meeting. That just kicked us off and the details will get hammered out
mostly by email. Dave KE0NA will most likely reply regarding the networking and
maybe a few others. That is out of my area of expertise. </FONT></DIV>

<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>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>
