[Fourlanders] Final Contest Update

[Jim Worsham]

I talked to Mile High Campground today and added two more camp sites.  We
now have 16, 17, 18, 18A, 19, 19A and 19B.  I tried to get 20 also but they
say that one is still reserved.  Hopefully that will give us enough room for
everyone to park and camp.  If not, let me know and we will get more space.
We have enough folks that the cost per person for the camping shouldn't be
too bad.  I also scored us twenty 5.8 GHz cordless telephones today.  We
will use a couple of those for an intercom between the two trailers which
will hopefully cut down on the running back and forth and we will use the
rest to make some microwave (5.8 GHz) Qs for the log.  These cordless
telephones are new in the box and will need someone to unpack, charge and
get them ready.  I will have my hands full with 6 meters so I need a
volunteer to be the "band captain" for the 5.8 GHz cordless telephones.  We
will also need a long power strip with as many outlets as we can get to plug
as many of these things in as we can to charge their batteries.  If anyone
has such a power strip please bring it.  Thanks.

Well, time is almost upon us.  Everything is coming together well.  We have
another record group going up.  Thanks to all for your participation.
Looking forward to another good time and high score!

Jeff has the following list for meals and the menu is planned.
BBQ and slaw Friday night, Meatloaf Saturday night and Baked Ham and sweet
taters on Sunday night.  Burgers and Brats for lunches and for breakfasts he
has scrambled eggs, pancakes and French toast along with the fixins.  We'll
have coffee and the coffee pot but bring your own drinks and snacks.  We
have a microwave and gas grill if you need to cook anything of your own (or
for big snacks!!)

There are 9 who will be there for all meals:
W4KXY, W4ZST, NX9O, K4VJM, WW8RR, WE8W, W0ONR, NN4W, K4RBM Dinner Friday: 10

              also attending will be K2GP? who will cook an apple
          cobbler for dessert for us.  I talked to him at Shelby. 
            	 He is a friend of Pauls from Maggie Valley.
          I'm betting Paul will be there too for dinner to make 17
          if he operates all night he might stay for breakfast too.
Breakfast Sun: 15  (Nine + KI4US + N4NIA + WG8S + WA4VJC + N8CQ & Josh)

K2GP?  I can't remember his name but I'll e-mail Paul.

The other thing I have determined ahead of time is the arrival list.
First up to turn around and drop the generator trailer, WW8RR Next to turn
around and drop BlackHawk, KI4US Third, Brian has all the upper area to turn
Great White around and manuver into position.
Fourth Mac will bring Radio Flyer around behind Great White into position
Fifth Jim brings up the Black Mamba trailer and drops it into position Sixth
I will bring the Green Hornet up and drop it for 222 and finally Ivan brings
the caboose in and we start setting up.

The plan is to stop at the Subway in Maggie Valley for lunch on the way up
(usually around 1PM) like we usually do since its has the parking lot to
handle all the trailers.

Jim was going to reserve two more camping spaces at Mile High this week so
we would have enough room for everyone.

E-mail me with any questions or concerns.  I don't think anyone needs
directions, but if you do e-mail me and I'll send them.

Convoy plan is to leave the W4ZST QTH around 9AM like we usually do so come
on up, hook up a trailer and lets hit the road Friday morning.

73, Bob
