[Fourlanders] contest update

[Bob Lear]

Latest contest update:

Ron came up last Friday and he and I got the 432 array in the air along 
with the 432 and 2m omni antennas, all tested and working. Still working 
on microwave and need to get the 6m omni's up also.

We have 10 operators signed up and 8 of us are staying overnight on 
Saturday night so all the beds are filled.  There are probably going to 
be a couple of visitors also.

As we usually do when we operate from here, we will meet at Roosters's 
at 11:30 on Saturday for lunch.  Some of us already here will come down 
from the shack and meet the others coming up for the contest and then 
come back for the start of the contest at 2PM.

Jerry is cooking his famous Brisket and Beans for our dinner Saturday 
night so you don't want to miss that.  I'll be making pancakes and 
sausage for breakfast on Sunday, sandwiches and chips for lunch and 
we'll probably just get pizza to go for Sunday evening since a number of 
folks leave early.

All the stations are set up and tested with the exception of 2m which 
Kos will bring Friday night or Saturday morning.  We will do 2m and 432 
EME at times when we have moon and there is no terrestrial activity.

So things are progressing well for the contest and we'll see you all on 
Saturday.  73, Bob
