[Mldxcc] New time/date

[Andrew Faber]

Carolyn,

  Thanks to you and all the other MLDXCC OMs and YLs once again for putting 
together a great meeting with excellent refreshments.

  I too was disappointed in the lack of attendance by NCCCrs in the Bay Area 
(though some, like K5RC, came a longer way from the other direction).  This 
is supposed to be a joint meeting, so it was odd that no NCCC officers 
attended, and only one director (K6SRZ, who gave the excellent 
presentation).  Since no one appeared to have been delegated to run the 
meeting as an NCCC meeting, there was, in effect, no actual NCCC meeting.  I 
can't recall this happening in the past.  Richard (NU6T) did a very smooth 
job of running the MLDXCC meeting.

  Anyway, Kit (W6ISO) and I had a delightful time with the Mother Loders, as 
usual.

  BTW: on the way back, the temperature gauge in the car went as high as 116 
on the freeway, and when I got home to Los Gatos at 5:15, was still at 111 
degrees.  Whew!

  73, Andy,AE6Y
