CTRI Meeting Saturday @ W1XX

Posted on by — 10 Comments ↓

The CTRI Meeting this Saturday, August 10 at 10 AM, is ON.  As usual there is a little work-party catch.  But only a little.  I had hoped to have the 160 vertical ready for this meeting with the all hands on deck approach.  But not so.  Instead. only the 80 meter vertical will be ready for hoisting which takes only about 4 people.  So if a few could get here maybe 20 minutes early we can get the job done in jiffy time:  2 crankers, 1 heavy duty lifter preferably tall (hint hint!), and 1 spotter.  Perhaps we can have the September meeting here for the 160 vertical.  Anyway, the NEW 40 M Yagi, and the homebrew 18/24 MHz duobander on the tower may be of some interest to viewers.  On the agenda, I can speak to the W1AW/x centennial operations.

Address:  48 Shannock Road, South Kingstown.  Tel if you get lost:  401-783-1588.  If approaching on  Rte 1 heading North, take the turn-around after Green Hill Beach Rd  exit in the left lane marked:  “Post Rd Perryville.”  Backtrack 1 mile to RIGHT on Shannock Rd.  3rd driveway on left. Heading south on Rte 1 look  for Shannock Rd RIGHT after all Wakefield, Moonstone Bach, and Perryville signs.  3rd driveway on Left.

Antenna will block the top of driveway so limited parking near top, 1/2 way point, on Shannock Rd next to mailboxes and across the road on Shannock Road.

Eats:  usual hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill on the deck. Please respond to this message to indicate that you expect to be coming.  TNX & 73!!

Your host, John, W1XX

  2. John,

    I’ll be there to help out with the antenna but I won’t be at full capacity due to a bum knee. I’m having surgery on it next Friday.

  3. I will plan to be there early. I’m not as tall as I use to be, but I can still crank, pull, push to a moderate degree.

  4. I plan to attend, as well, and will be there around 0930 to assist.

  6. John, et al;

    It is looking good that I will be able to attend the meeting tomorrow. Things could change at the last minute, but Linda seems to be doing a little better each day now, so I am being optimistic. If things change, I will let you know as soon as practical.

  10. TNX for the great meeting turnout and the FB help with the 80 meter vertical. Ran it on the analyzer and it looks spot on. Seems like we all had a fine time. 73!!!! — John, W1XX
