We will have Ivan's red trailer for 6m so we will have plenty of room in 
Great White for the three other stations.

We will use WriteLog 10.67b.  The Oracle has spoken.

Jim came here yesterday and the 6m beams are down and packed and the 
BlackHawk tower trailer will be prepped for the road this week.

We also worked on his 2m Commander amp and found a problem with the 
loading control not working and we have fixed it.  We loaded it up to 
900W out driving it with my FT-736 so it is loaded for bear and ready to 
go.  I also tested my 6m Commander on Sunday, calling CQ a lot both SSB 
and CW and had no problems, so it is ready to go also.

Jim is bringing his tent for us to use for storage as we have been doing 
so that will make for less crowding in the trailers.

I will let you know later how we will take care of getting Jeff and the 
food there as he has moved and we can not get to his new house pulling a 
trailer, so we will be doing some figuring on that situation.

Jim is going to pull his trailer up to the mountain, and the plans are 
for Randal to pull it back as Jim will have to leave on Sunday morning 
for his business trip to England.

Kos and Ron have gotten together and Kos will get and pull Ron's tower 
trailer to the mountain.

Brian reports that he has his 222 transverter repaired and working again 
(and has mine working also) and is getting the 222 station together.

No reports of any problems.  I will update as necessary.

Bob
