[Mldxcc] W6RKC ARRL 160 contest

[Robert Hess]

Rick,

The meeting topic in January is AD6E's dxpedition talk.  I was just suggesting a tour for those interested.  I like your idea, however.  We could do something next spring or summer.  Go to the same Lodi restaurant, or the place we went to in Walnut Grove, and then off to your place for an official meeting topic.

Bob

Great idea, wrong timing.  I'm on the air, but still in a
rebuilding phase.  Also, we want dry weather so people
can walk around the property and see stuff.  I'll definitely
plan to have a tour in the future.
