Greetings, All,
Well, folks, the count-down is on for Field Day.
Two additional Field Day sites have been added to the list that was
provided for you in the June newsletter, and they are the Jasper
Radio Club, and Forsyth ARES. The **new and improved** list is
currently posted on our section webpage, and any other latecomers
who would like to be included, please send your info to our esteemed
webmaster BOB SMITH, K4PHE, at
k4phe@arrl.net
The big event happening after Field Day is the
4th of July Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta, which is expected to
draw better than 55,000 entrants. Once again, DAVID ZISKIND,
KE4QLH, is heading up the communications efforts for that,
and he is still in need of some additional volunteers. David writes:
Peachtree time is quickly approaching! I am
looking forward to your support again this year. I am trying to
increase the number of hams to a total of 25 for better
communications support.
The details:
- Wednesday, July 4, 2007
- Most report times are around 6am. Most assignments are through by
10am. Some are shorter, some are longer.
How to volunteer:
1. Send me an email
(ke4qlh@arrl.net) letting me know your availability, AND 2. Fill
out the volunteer form and return to the Atlanta Track Club.
Write in 'communications' towards the bottom.

Coming up this weekend is the Peach State
Chapter 49 QCWA meeting, on Saturday, at the Ryan's Restaurant at
the corner of Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Peachtree Industrial. Eat
at noon, with a fantastic program on WCC, one of the original
Marconi stations on Cape Cod, to follow. All are welcome. Also on
Saturday is Kids Day.

NOTE: In support of Kids
Day, the uplink frequency on AO-51's FM repeater will be changed to
145.88 MHz, with no PL tone.
And Sunday, of course, is
Fathers Day. To all of you special fathers out there, may you have a
very special day.
Well, it's unofficially official. (insert
dramatic drum roll here) It looks like y'all are gonna be stuck with
me as Section Manager for another two years. No one chose to
challenge me, so I have been informed by HQ that my next term will
begin on the first of October. Many thanks to all of you who signed
my petition for nomination. I really do appreciate all of your kind
words and support.
SILENT KEY:
TRACY SNYDER, WD4DMA. Sincere condolences to his
family and friends. Tracy, recently appointed as EC for Evans
county, was on a mission visit to Honduras at the time of his
untimely death. He will truly be missed.
Okay, folks, short and sweet. Until next time,
this is AF4FO, signing clear. Take care of yourselves. And each
other.
73, Susan

No trees were killed in the sending of this
message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly
inconvenienced.
