[Fourlanders] January contest update

[Bob Lear]

Time is finally getting closer for the contest.  I think things are 
still coming together well even though I have not been doing anything.  
I've been sick since just after Christmas and finally feeling much 
better yesterday and today.

Current plans are for Jim W4KXY and maybe Johnny K4SQC coming to the 
shack tomorrow.  Jim will reinstall and test the 6m BIP/BOP box and 
remote and Johnny will set up the 6m station.  Johnny may wait until 
Monday.  We will see.

Ron and Kos still have to plan days to come set-up the 432 and 2m 
stations for the contest.

I really haven't heard much from any of you about accommodations for the 
contest.  Please let me know if you would like to stay Friday and/or 
Saturday night.  I'll have the usual spaces available but need to know 
please!

I suppose it would be good to get a confirmation of operators also, 
those staying overnight or not for the food planning.  Rick KK4LPP has 
graciously volunteered to take care of our Saturday night dinner and 
will need a count for that.  I will supply Sunday breakfast and lunch 
for those here including visitors and will need a count for that also.  
We have decided for Sunday evening dinner to either order something or 
pick up for those remaining until the end of the contest at 11PM.

A reminder that we will meet for lunch Saturday morning at 11:30 at 
Rooster's before the contest kick-off at 2PM.  That will give us time to 
socialize, eat and get back to the shack in time for the contest.

Thanks and 73, Bob
