[SCCC] SCCC Meeting at N6AA, Saturday December 27th

[Richard J. Norton]

There will be a Southern California Contest Club meeting at the N6AA QTH in
Topanga, after the TRW Swapmeet, on Saturday, December 27, 2003. The meeting
will start at 1 PM, although if you are coming from TRW, feel free to arrive
ahead of time. SCCC members and those interested in SCCC are invited to attend.

We will discuss our experiences in the CQWW, SS, and other contests as desired.
W6XD will have the C5Z-CQWW-2003-Phone slides available if we choose to see
them.

If any of you have used the ARRL's Logbook of the World, and could talk about
it for 5 minutes, please let me know by E-mail.

If you expect to come, please let me know. I may use you as a drawing card. If
you decide to come without notice, please do so.

For future planning, I expect to have a meeting on Saturday, February 28th.
Anyone willing to host it?

Hope to see you here next Saturday.

73,

Directions:

Do NOT park in front of the redwood fence in front of 21300 Hillside Drive,
next to my driveway. The fence opens up like a gate.

>From the north -

>From the Ventura Freeway which runs east-west near here, exit on
Topanga Canyon Boulevard, south. Watch your odometer. Go south 6 miles
to Hillside Drive, on your right. As you approach, you can see my
antenna on your right, but it is hard to find the house. After the antenna is
no longer visible, you will come to Hillside Drive where you turn very, very,
very sharply to the right. If you reach Froggy's Restaurant on Topanga Canyon
Boulevard, you have gone 200 feet too far.

In the past, a stick figure on a sign gave warning that Hillside Drive was
near, but Caltrans removed the sign.

Take the right fork at the bottom of the hill, which is Hillside
Drive. Drive about 1/2 mile to the top of the hill. You will come to a
fork at Summit Road. Stop and park somewhere. Walk up the driveway
next to a wooden fence that has 21300 on it. My house is 21290, and
the number is on a rock on the right side of the driveway.

>From the south -

Take the Santa Monica Freeway, Route 10, to the west end. It will go
through a tunnel and become Pacific Coast Highway. Take PCH west about
5 miles to Topanga Canyon Boulevard. Watch your odometer. Go north 6
miles to Hillside Drive, on your left. It is just after Froggy's
Restaurant. Do not take Hillside Drive to your right. Keep going
another block, and you will see that Hillside Drive does go to the
left also.

Take the right fork at the bottom of the hill, which is Hillside
Drive. Drive about 1/2 mile to the top of the hill. You will come to a
fork at Summit Road. Stop and park somewhere. Walk up the driveway
next to a wooden fence that has 21300 on it. My house is 21290, and
the number is on a rock on the right side of the driveway.

>From Ventura - Santa Barbara -

(Note that this route saves 2 miles of driving compared to continuing
to Topanga Canyon Boulevard.)

Take the Ventura Freeway east to Valley Circle/ Mulholland Highway.
Make a left turn at the traffic signal at the freeway exit. Then make
an immediate right turn onto Mulholland. There will be a shopping
center on your left. There is a traffic light for the shopping center.
Keep going straight. You will reach Topanga Canyon Boulevard at the
third traffic light after the shopping center. Turn right/south on
Topanga Canyon. Go south 5 miles to Hillside Drive, on your right. As you
approach, you can see my antenna on your right, but it is hard to find the
house. After the antenna is no longer visible, you will come to Hillside Drive
where you  turn very, very, very sharply to the right. If you reach Froggy's
Restaurant on Topanga Canyon Boulevard, you have gone 200 feet too far.
