It was great to see everyone at the meeting on Saturday. First I would like to welcome Jay KB1LCQ to the club. Now on to NP3U. I have the following members on the list of operators: Ken K3IU, John W1AN, Jamie K1SG, Matt WE1H, Jay KB1LCQ, Bill N1HRA, Mike K1DM, and Ed W1PN. Ken K3IU will be making contact with Carlos soon. Untill we hear back from Ken confirming that the station will be available, I suggest no one purchase their tickets. Jay and I have been looking at flight costs this evening and found this flight info. This is a one stop flight with your layover in Washington of less than 45 minutes. Price of this flight per person is $279.40 (taxes and fees included). Plan on an extra $25 each way checked baggage. This is the best price found as of yet. All other other flights had layovers of 4-6 hours and much more expensive. Again if anyone else finds anything, please post it here. As stated at the meeting I would like to hear back from all team members attending by Saturday the 17th the LATEST.
Ken K3IU: Please try and make contact with Carlos as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Bill N1HRA

Email from Carlos, WP4U.
Hello Ken; Message received. You are welcome to come. At the moment all antennas are down, but I will try to put up some of them before you come. I will let you know before you arrive what happening. Talk with Matt about the filters. Last time we have some problems with the one we have. Let me know what category are you planing to work? I recomend Mult. Single or Mult. Two. We are short of 1 rotor at this moment. You can bring one to have it spare. If we don’t used you can take it back. About the equipment I have the FT-1000MP Field, IC-756Pro3, IC-7700 and TS-2000. The PA are 2 AL-1200 and 1 Hope to see you here. 73′ Carlos(WP4U)
I posted some information and questions on the NP3U Forum under miscellany. I think I called it Transportation.
Basically, since I will be flying to San Juan from Tampa, FL, I need to know when everyone is arriving, so I can get there as close to that time (and preferably before) as possible. Also, for return, I don’t want to have to get to the airport way before everyone else, since that would impose on the transportation for the rest of the group. I have found a good price for me on Jet Blue, but I have limited departure and arrival times to work with.
More input needed, PLEASE. K1DM
