[SCCC] SCCC Meeting on September 25th

[Art]

I vote to have Glen, K6NA, be in charge of the Four or Five to hold Jim 
down, because if Glen gets
involved in the installation, instead of an hour or so, the installation 
could turn into days!
                  Hey!  My GAP Vertical is starting to become 'World 
Class'.
73,  Art  W6KY      (W6K mobile in the CQP)...
p.s. The Roller Coaster fall certainly qualifies you for ARRL Director 
job. Ya got my vote!
