Subject: [Fourlanders] Contest update and food list

Contest time is getting closer and things appear to be going well so 
far.  Time to get the food list going.

I have the following folks down for all meals, Friday supper thru Monday 
breakfast:  Jim W4KXY, Scott NN4W, Bob W4ZST, Ron WW8RR, Ron K4RBM, 
Randal N4AC, Kos N4NIA and Sherry, Jeff W0ONR  (9)

Friday supper thru Sunday Lunch:  Bill KI4US    (1)

Saturday lunch thru Sunday supper:  Kim WG8S    (1)

Saturday only 3 meals:  Kos and Sherry's daughter and son-in-law  (2)

Wey K8EAB is coming and bringing his own food for Friday thru Sun 
morning.  He has to leave early for his son's birthday.

Still need to hear from Paul W4SKI, Tom W4TJD, Tom KI4WOU, Gary N8CQ and 
Dean K2JB on meals and anyone else who is planning to come and I don't 
have on the list.  Let me know if any of the list above is incorrect!!!

Speaking of Dean K2JB, he has offered to cook his famous Chili and 
cornbread for supper Saturday night and his equally famous (cherry?) 
cobbler cooked in the Dutch oven for dessert.  You'd all best remember 
that I was operating and didn't get dessert last time!!!  Anyway, Dean 
offered and several spoke up in agreement so that is the plan.  Jeff 
will have a respite for a meal for a change and we'll try to get him on 
the radio for some time.

Also on the food agenda, I have about 150 plates, cups, forks, knives 
and spoons loaded in the trailer.  I don't have bowls for the chili and 
dessert however.  I have asked Jeff to add those to the food purchase 
list.  The gas grill, microwave oven and electric frying pan and water 
jugs are already in Great White and I'll bring coffee and the coffee 
maker.  BYOB.

We are OK on trailer pullers and I will send an update on trailer 
check-lists tomorrow after I finish inventory of certain items.

I haven't heard anything so I hope Scott has all the networking under 
control for the contest.  He was supposed to pick up the WL server from 
Brian.  And he already had the time server.  Remember that we are 
sticking with the same version of WL that we used in June.  Someone 
please bring a back up install copy of WL and the installation key code.

The generator trailer is here at my house waiting for Ron to pull it to 
the mountain.  Ron, do you know how to start and stop it?  I haven't 
ever done it as Brian usually takes care of business, but I think you 
have been checked out and also know how to do the fueling.

On my end, the 222 station has been set up, checked out and packed in 
the tubs for the trip.  Wish I had Ron here for trouble shooting as I am 
now completely inept.  I spent hours trying to figure out why the linear 
wasn't working, changing power supplies, checking current draw, opening 
up the linear to see what was wrong, but the only thing wrong was 
operator error as the wattmeter was BEFORE the linear!!  Everything was 
OK all along except for my lost mind....  Maybe Brian will get a break 
from the company and come after all so I can be a back-up op!!!

Anyway, I'll try to remember to get up on Friday morning the 12th and 
come to the contest, but I can't make guarantees any more apparently. 
This remodeling and moving are getting to be too much for me.

73 and looking forward to the contest.

Bob W4ZST

Hope all had a good time at Shelby.  First time I've missed in about 12 
years, but got a lot of packing and moving done here.
