[Fourlanders] Contest Update

[Bob Lear]

Gentlemen, everything is looking good.

We canceled the workday on Sunday, but I got a good bit of stuff done 
around here on my own.  One important thing is that I found the problem 
with my 1296 amp.  It was only a broken solder connection.  Maybe I can 
get another reliable 10 years out of it!!  Ron is making progress on the 
modifications to his 432 amp.  No anticipated problems for the contest.

Here is the roster that I have for the contest:

Jim Worsham W4KXY 6m capt. pulling his black trailer (2m tower)
Bob Lear W4ZST  2m capt.  pulling Radio Flyer (432/microwave towers)
Brian McCarthy NX9O 222 capt. pulling Great White (2-micro op positions)
Ron Rogers WW8RR  432 capt. pulling Generator trailer
Ivan White K4VJM  microwave capt. pulling Red Caboose (6m op position)
Mac McEntire K4RBM pulling Green Hornet (222 tower)
Jeff Grote W0ONR "Chef extrordinaire" riding with Ivan

The above 7 will be present for all meals, Fri supper to Monday brkfst.
The rest of the ops listed below need to let me know when you will 
arrive and leave so Jeff can get a good count for the food.  I have put 
down the info I have so far.

Bill Pence KI4US pulling BlackHawk (6m) up on Friday.  leaving Sun night
Scott Spencer NN4W pulling BlackHawk back on Monday.  arrives Fri nite
Bill are you staying thru supper on Sunday?
Scott will you be in time for supper Friday?

That takes care of all the trailer pulling.  there may be some swapping 
around for load purposes, but we do have them all covered.  Thanks.

More ops:

Kim Hensley WG8S  arriving noonish Saturday, leaving Sunday evening
Bob Crone WA4VJC  arriving noonish Saturday, leaving Sunday evening
let us know if you want lunch Saturday and dinner Sunday

Jim Rogers WE8W
Gary Abercrombie N8CQ
Paul Yeager W4SKI
Kos Kosmetatos N4NIA

so there you have what I know right now.  This should be another great 
contest with the fantastic turnout.  Looking forward to a good time.

Only item we need so far is an extra table or two for eating on and 
serving the food.  All the ones we have are needed for operating 
positions right now.

W4KXY bring your white table and bring your tent along just in case we 
need it.  Brian, will you bring your tent again for storage and for you 
to sleep in?  Thats all I can think of right now.

Going to have a good time in Shelby and ready for the contest too!!!
