[Fourlanders] June VHF qso party at w4szt

[Bill Pence]

Hey everybody,
As we finish off our Dayton Hamvention planning and preparations let's
also  start planning for June qso party at Bob's.
Will have the regular four stations up plus it looks like we'll have
potentially 222 megahertz EME for the first time ever.

So let's start finding out who's going to be able to be there and what
times you'll be so Bob can assign beds.  Please reply toe and Bob with your
times available and sleeping needs.
(Bob, I plan to probably come up Friday and will likely leave Monday if
that is ok with you...  And I do not think I snore any longer so you can
consider that in bed assignments.)

We will meet as usual Saturday at rooster's about 1130 before the contest
and we will plan a work day between now and then to make sure all the
antennas and stations ready to go if needed. ( spoiler alert: we'll need
one.
Some trailers need position adjustments.)
I'll discuss with Bob this weekend at Dayton what work day would work for
him and we'll start planning the get to stations all in place.

The shake out test of N1MM software went well. The user interface is not
hard to adapt from writelowe need to define the "final update point" to get
all PC's ready for the contest. Hopefully we can load the latest as of
Friday before the contest? (That might be to close to contest start, but
I'll discuss with band captains in separate email.)

N1MM seems considerably less affected by different versions of windows and
the network computers were all visible really quickly as compared to
writelog which seems to take significant time to get the network
settlehopefully, the adif file will not completly explode my brain.  I
doubt I will do as good a job as previous since I have less knowledge of
the callsigns)

I'll follow up as needed, and look forward to seeing folks at Dayton.

Best,
El prez (but not de la vida...)
