Thanks to all of you who helped the Columbus Amateur Radio Club honor 
veterans on Veteran's Day by working N4I and the other Veterans Day 
Special Event stations.  I am sorry we at N4I didn't have a better 
signal so we could have worked more of you.  We did get a little late 
start due to problems with wind while putting up the antennas. We were 
experiencing wind gusts of 20 to 30 MPH from the remnants of the 
northeast side of Hurricane Ida.  They finally died off in the late 
afternoon.  We had two stations on the air until almost 5 PM when the 
museum closed.  The National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center in 
Columbus, GA, at the entrance to Fort Benning is a wonderful $60 million 
museum that just opened in July.  If any of you get through this area, 
you should plan for some time there and also some time at our Port 
Columbus Civil War Naval Museum.  If so, please e-mail me, so we can try 
to have an eyeball QSO while you are in the area.  Again, info on QSLs 
and certificates available at www.w4cvy.org.  73, John, K4BAI.
