[TenTec] QRP Get-Together in Mount Vernon, WA January 10

[Bruce Prior]

On Saturday, January 10, Lyle (KK7P) and Heather (N7DZU) Johnson are hosting 
a QRP get-together in their home in Mount Vernon, Washington on a hill 
overlooking the Skagit River Valley.  Mount Vernon is 47 miles southeast of 
the British Columbia border at Blaine, and 53 miles north of Seattle.  The 
QRP gab-fest will get underway at 1300.  Plan to eat lunch ahead of time.  
Lyle and Heather will furnish dessert.  Lyle will host the QRP bunch and 
Heather will entertain the non-QRP (QRO?) spouses and other adults.  
Children are also welcome.   Unless they are interested in the ham-radio 
activities, there will be popcorn and videos for kids in a separate room.  
The Johnson QTH is a non-tobacco and non-alcohol place.

Lyle is one of the TAPR pioneers, and a major contributor to the amateur 
satellite program through AMSAT.  He also designed the KDSP2 advanced DSP 
filter for the Elecraft K2 transceiver.  See <http://www.elecraft.com> and 
follow the K2 and KDSP2 links for details.  Lyle will demonstrate that unit. 
  I'll take my Elecraft KX1 and Margaret (KD7CEL) will take her Ten-Tec 
Argonaut V with the SGC ADSP2 unit installed inside.  Please bring more 
show-and-tell stuff!

The Johnson home is at 18345 Osprey Court, Mount Vernon, WA  98274.  
(48°22'44.9" N 122°17'12.8" W -- That's what my GPS reads in their driveway. 
  Lyle has more precise geographical coordinates based on the GPS antenna on 
his roof!)  See <http://www.mapquest.com> to generate a map and get 
directions from your place.  Please RSVP to Lyle: <kk7p at amsat.org>.  Mention 
the number of adults and the number and ages of kids in your party to help 
Heather and Lyle plan.
