>What a great group of club members we have. Ben prompted the discussion
>and no less than three members (K4SB, K4OGG, and K9AY) volunteered to

>the bleachers and all of them will contribute to it, but K9AY will
>preside in my absence.

>Some discussion topics: l. Ga. QSO Party. Jere, KT4ZB, can you get
>Dick a sample of the certificate to display at the meeting? If anyone
>knows of anyone who needs a copy of the results and can't download them
>from the website, please let Dick know. We need to use every avenue of
>publicity for the GQP this year. QST, CQ, Worldradio, and the SM3CER,
>LA9HW, and WA6BNM contest websites are covered. But we need members to
>talk it up and post info on other special interest websites. Since we
>sponsor QRP awards, the QRPers should be interested. We did very well
>last year on covering counties with mobiles and I hope we can do even
>better this year. Last year, K4PI, volunteered to coordinate that
>effort. I will send a copy of this message to the SEDXC list since they
>are a co-sponsor and may want to have input on this or other topics.

>3. Hopefully everyone will get on for the IARU test this year and work
>toward the special WRTC awards for working the WRTC teams. As you know,
>I will be on a team with K6LL and K4UEE will be on a team with N6IG.
>Our identities will be undisclosed, so everyone will have to work every
>S5 plus two numbers and a letter station in order to be sure to work us,
>hi.
>Please pray for safe travel for all the participants and for another
>brave sponsor for this event in the future. Donations may still be made
>to AI6V or via NCDXF if $250.00 or more.

>4. Field Day. I will be practicing with K6LL with the gear and
>computers we will actually use in Slovenia (except for the power
>converter from 220v 50 hz, hi.) We will probably be in the 1E class
>using the software developed for WRTC. We will either sign K6LL or
>K7ABC (Dave's wife's call).
>
>5. Upgrades. Any to report? Anyone know of a place to buy or download
>the new Extra exam questions and answers? Maybe I could study them on
>the airplane, hi.
>
>6. Other upcoming contests and trips, etc. K4BI and a friend expect to
>be at the 8P9Z contest station site the first week in July signing their
>yet-to-be-issued personal calls. They will take down the 3 element six
>meter yagi and replace it with a five element to be left in place for
>future users. I need 8P on six, but will be leaving for Slovenia on 3
>July, so I may miss Jim this time.
>
>There are several six meter (or general VHF contests) in June and July.
>Six meters has had some very good openings lately. I haven't heard any
>real DX, but read that stations in SW USA worked into Greenland about
>23Z Memorial Day.
>
>The WAE CW contest in August is fun and has a club competition which
>includes the SSB contest in Sept and the RTTY contest in October (I
>think).
>
>We usually try to get up teams for the North American QSO Parties in
>August and the NA Sprints in September. Can we let the FL and Tn guys
>beat us?
>
>7. What else can or should we do to continue or increase interest in
>contesting.
>
>8. Comments by N1ND or other guests present.
>
>9. Report on health of W4GTS who is scheduled for surgery tomorrow and
>who lost his wife suddenly last weekend. Rick, N4XMX, please bring or
>send a report. Thanks.
>
>Any other ideas for topics should be sent to K9AY.
