Well, I thought I wouldn't need to send another, but here it is.
Things are great up here at the shack.  I got on today and worked Brian 
on 6, 2, 222 and 432 as he was setting up a radio at home so that Anna 
can work us during the contest.  Thought I had a 222 rotator problem, 
but it was just the cable connector, so it is OK.

Even got 3456 set-up and on line today.  Don't know what we'll hear, but 
we'll try if we get the chance.

I reported to Jeff that we will have 14 for dinner on Saturday evening. 
  He is making meatloaf for that meal.  I reported that we will have 12 
for dinner on Sunday and that one will be Lasagna.  Kos is cooking 
breakfast on Sunday morning for the 8 of us that are spending the night 
here and Ivan who is coming up early too.

A group is getting together on the way up here tomorrow at 11:30 AM at 
Rooster's Cafe at the end of GA 400 here in Dahlonega.  Ron, Scott, Tom, 
Big Tom, Ivan and maybe Jim WE8W if he gets here in time.  Others are 
welcome to join them.  Brian and I will be here at my place already.

Other news:  Ivan K4VJM, Big Tom McElroy KI4WOU and Paul W4SKI called 
early today and are coming to operate also.  Paul is just coming down 
for the day on Saturday.  Jim W4KXY will also be here the whole time as 
the business dinner was canceled.

I also have 6 beds set up now and room for a cot or two if last minute 
folks are bringing their own.

Let's hope for good prop so all these ops won't be bored sitting around 
listening to static!!!!!!!!!!!

See you all tomorrow and looking forward to a great time.

73, Bob
