I hope to see some of you including N4GG, K1ZZI, K4UEE, W4BUW, etc. at 
SEDCO in Pigeon Forge, TN this weekend.  Ralph and I will be riding up 
with Hal on Saturday morning and returning Sunday. Bob is the dinner 
speaker.  We will probably be QRV from N4GG's mobile on 20M only during 
the trip up and back from Hal's QTH.  I am taking a Corsair II and my 
Titan up for repairs.  Scott, W4PA, says they are running two to three 
weeks on repairs, so I might get the Titan back before ARRL SS CW.

I hope to be QRV full time in the Spartan Sprint Monday night.  It will 
depend on when my tennis practice ends.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend and a lot of QSOs.  Please let me have 
your scores by Tuesday night so I can post them next Wednesday.

SECC members:  Be sure to get your votes in for the proposed new center 
of the club circles by October 11.  See the message from NQ4I today.

73,

John, K4BAI.
