Well we had another workday on Saturday and got the remaining antennas 
in the air: 222, 432 and microwave.  Ron got the 432 station set up and 
tested and Jim got the 6m station up also.  Scott brought the 2m station 
on Monday and it is now set up and tested.  The microwave station 
appears to be working OK.  I can copy the 1296 beacon, but not the 903 
or 2304.  I will keep testing and also call Ott to check the status of 
the beacons.  We did find a problem with the 1/2" hardline for 2m and 
removed it.  Scott will bring a replacement run and install it on 
Saturday morning before the contest.  Myself, Ron, Scott, Jim and Chris 
W5ONT were the Saturday workday crew.

Sign up for food.

I have the following down for all three meals, Saturday evening dinner 
of Brunswick Stew and Cornbread, Sunday Breakfast/Brunch and Sunday 
evening dinner Spaghetti, Salad and Bread:

W4ZST, W4KXY, WW8RR, NN4W, NX9O, WE8W, WG8S, K4TJD, N4NIA AND K4VJM.

Let me know of anything different and any other visitors that would like 
to have a meal here with us.  All visitors and part time ops are invited 
to eat if they want, just let us know which meals you would be here for. 
  Meals are usually only $3 to $4 each.  Jeff's cooking is worth double 
that anyway!!

I also have one more bed available for another op to sleep over Saturday 
night and plenty of room for others with cots, pads or sleeping bags.

We hope to have a number of folks visit with us and operate if they 
would like to:  Mack WB4MAK and Chris W4CCH from NFARL, Joe KJ4JBG, Dan 
KJ4YZP from NGARC, John N8UR and Dan W4EA from Gwinett County, and
Randal N4AC, Tom W4SDR and Chris W5ONT from Forsyth County are some who 
have indicated to me that they will visit.

Keep me advised of any changes in your plans.  Thanks and 73, see you 
this weekend for the contest,  Bob W4ZST  770-654-4057
