[Fourlanders] contest update

[Bob Lear]

Well, everything is going according to plan I guess.  No major problems 
have arisen.  We have 17 operators signed up over the course of the 
contest so it should be a good one.  Let's hope for propagation like 
last night when 6m was open from here to DM04.  Maybe it will 'pop' for 
us.

Coming for the entire time:  W4ZST, W4KXY, K4VJM, W0ONR, NN4W, W4ATL, 
NX9O, KI4US, K5AWC, N4AC.

WW8RR and WE8W have to take some time Saturday afternoon to attend a 
wedding in Brevard, but should be back in time for dinner and to operate.

K4TJD till Sunday evening.
WG8S Saturday and Sunday.
N8CQ arriving late Fri till Sunday evening.
W4SKI in and out and may bring some locals to visit.
Anna N9KHC and the McCarthy clan Sat evening to Sun morning.  Claire 
will be camping with Dad for the entire weekend.

It appears that we have 12 to set-up and take down so that should go 
smoothly also.

Mac K4RBM and Kos N4NIA have had to cancel out due to other commitments.

Looking forward to a good time, good food, many good Q's and what more 
could we ask for?

As usual, try to arrive at W4ZST QTH between 8:30 and 9 so we can try to 
get on the road by 9 if possible.  Scott is going to pick up Jeff and 
the food and we'll meet Ivan in Cleveland on the way.

73, Bob

One final item:  I know Monday will be a long day, but any of you who 
wish to can come to the NGARC meeting Monday evening, June 15 in 
Dahlonega.  Highlight will be dinner at 6PM at Smokin' Gold BBQ.  Best 
brisket this side of Texas and well worth the trip.  You don't even have 
to stay for the business meeting either!!  They have BBQ Pork, Texas 
style Beef Brisket, BBQ Baked Beans, slaw, etc.  Consider yourselves 
invited.....
