that
we should have a good turn-out for the business meeting
on May 3rd. The New Building Committee
has promised to supply us with some hard numbers. At
the last business meeting, the members approved money
to have an outside evaluation of the condition of the
present main building. I hope this will be avalable for
the discussion. After all, wouldn’t you like to
think that there’s something salvageable that a
little work (and a little money) could take care of?
I know I do!
Last month, the members voted to set
aside the money necessary to take down and cart away
the disintegrating Quonset hut that’s given so
many years of service. My experience with renovations
has been that it would have been easier, and no more
expensive, to start with a clean slate. I believe that’s
the case for the Quonset hut.
So, don’t stay away if you can
possibly make it! It will be an exciting time for everyone
present – those who want to spend money and those
who don’t.

design that Bill Miller, K1IBR/SK, had
sent me to use as a HOMEBREW
EXTRA. This month seemed like a good
time to use it. Do you have something you’d like
to share? Send it along.
Two
coupled events the first weekend in May are the new NEAR-Fest
in Deerfield, NH, which replaced the discontinued Hosstraders,
and the New England QSO Party
that runs for 20-h and starts after the Fest closes.
Now, how is that for cooperation?!
