[Jim Worsham]

> The next meeting of the Fourlanders VHF/UHF Contest Club will be held on
> Saturday, March 15th in conjunction with the Kennehoochee Hamfest.  We
will
> be meeting at 2 PM in the same restaurant as last year, the Monterrey
> Mexican Restaurant, 2540 Atlanta Road SE, Smyrna, GA.  The restaurant is
> located on Atlanta Road at Windy Hill Road behind the Pizza Hut.  For
> further directions you can call them at 770-432-1815.  They do not take
> reservations or have a private room but we can pull some tables together
and
> at 2 PM they should be fairly empty.  We did this last year and it worked
> out OK.  They serve the lunch specials until 3 PM so don't be late.  The
> agenda for the meeting is as follows:
>
> 1. Pay 2003 Dues.  Pay at the meeting or if you can't make it send $30 to
> the treasurer K4EA.  Make checks out to the Fourlanders VHF/UHF Contest
> Club.
>
> 2. Elect officers for 2003.  President, Vice-President, Secretary,
> Treasurer, 5 board members.  Your dues must be paid to run for office
and/or
> vote.
>
> 3. Make plans for contesting.  June and/or September?  Limited Multi or
Full
> Multi?  Who is operating? What bands?  etc.
>
> On a personal note while I have your attention.  I have been 2 meter band
> captain for a while now.  I would like to give that up and let someone
else
> take it on.  I am doing this because I would like to see us become more
> competitive on the higher (microwave) bands.  We only have a couple of
folks
> working those bands and that isn't enough to really do anything serious
and
> it isn't fair to ask those guys to assemble several bands worth of
microwave
> stuff with no help.  As you may recall we operated limited multi last year
> because we couldn't get enough help to do microwaves.  So, I plan to offer
> myself up to the microwave guys as an apprentice/helper if someone else
will
> take over 2 meters.  That is it for now, see you all at the meeting.
