¿ªÔÆÌåÓýJeff, Unfortunately I will be out of town most of the month.? However, I would like to ask you to ask around and see if anybody is interested in buying my 30¡¯ crank-up tower and Cushcraft ATB-34 4 element beam.?

QCWA 111 Zoom Meeting
Hello Everyone! We are going to try and get the Zoom meeting working again for the Chapter 111 Lunch Meeting tomorrow (Tue 11/30). Last month I think I set the meeting to start at 11:45 PM and we were not meeting at that time! This time I checked that it is set at 11:45 AM and we should be there. We actually start at 11:30 AM but I am allowing everyone time to place their order before we start the Online part of the Meeting. We are not limited to 40 minutes or 3 people so as many as want can join for the duration.? If you have any issue connecting please give me a call at 561-667-7665.? Here is the invitation to attend the class on Zoom with video/audio or by telephone with audio only. This link is good for this meeting only. If we do it again next month, the link will be different, and you can not use the same message (even if the format is the same). ? Meeting ID: 842 1693 9627? Passcode: 310550Here are Instructions for joining on a cell phone by voice.? Use either set of numbers below. Wait until the voice prompts you to hit the # sign. This will bring you into the waiting room and we will get a message to let you in. This will only be audio of course if you are just calling in on your phone.? Note: You only need to use the +1 if required for a long distance call. (Most VOIP and Cell providers do not charge for long distance anymore).? The 2 commas ,, indicate to wait for 1 second. And you may get a prompt to enter the passcode 310550 and to hit the # button.? ? +16465588656,,84216939627# US (New York) +13017158592,,84216939627# US (Washington DC) AJ4XM, Tom Loughney, SBE, IEEE Vice-President, Quarter Century Wireless Association |

QCWA Chapter 111 Meetings for November/December
Hi Everyone....
Hope this finds you all doing well. This is just a heads up email about our November and December meetings. For the November meeting the meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 30, 2021. Note that there are five Tuesdays in November. The meeting will NOT be held on November 23 as that's not the last Tuesday of the month. The meeting on November 30 will be held at the Denny's in Royal Palm Beach. It's located just west of the intersection of Okeechobee Blvd. and Royal Palm Beach Blvd. The meeting info is: When:? Tuesday, November 30, 2021
Where: Denny's at 300 Civic Center Way, Royal Palm Beach.
Time:? ?11:30 am (1530Z) Since the December meeting date would have to be changed due to the holidays and that would make it only a couple of weeks after the November meeting, it has been decided that the December meeting will be cancelled. So, no official meeting in December.? Information about the January 2022 meeting will be sent at a later date. If things concerning the COVID-19 situation are doing well we may be able to return to the Golden Corral in January.? Another reminder will be sent out next weekend. So, see you all at Denny's on November 30 (NOT this coming Tuesday the 23rd). Stay safe & 73, Al, N3EA |

Zoom Meeting on Tue 10/26/21
Hi guys, With a little luck and the blessings of the Internet Gods, we will have Zoom available for our lunch meeting on Tue 10/26/21 (Tomorrow as I write this). This is for those who can not be there in person. We start at 11:30 but have to order food and get Zoom set up, so I have set the Zoom session to start at 11:45. It should run until 1:00. It is possible we may get cut off after 40 minutes, but I have earned some unlimited sessions and saved them up and think I have 1 more. If it ends early you will know I can't count or add or something like that. 47 & 73, AJ4XM, Tom Loughney, SBE, IEEE Vice-President, Quarter Century Wireless Association |

October QCWA Chapter 111 Meeting/Lunch
Hi Everyone,
The October meeting/lunch of the Palm Beach Chapter of QCWA (Chapter 111) will be held this coming Tuesday. Once again we will be meeting at the Denny's Restaurant in Royal Palm Beach. Here's the pertinent information: When:? Tuesday, October 26, 2021 Where: Denny's at 300 Civic Center Way, Royal Palm Beach.
Time:? ?11:30 am (1530Z)
?
The location is just west of the intersection of Okeechobee Blvd. & Royal Palm Beach Blvd. and it's on the south side. You can see it from Okeechobee Blvd. but it's official address is on Civic Center Way.
Remember that this is not a buffet and we will each order from their menu.?
?
We had a really nice attendance at the last meeting. I hope you can come out and join us this month, too.?
We are still considering a return to the Golden Corral restaurant at some point when it becomes really safe to do a buffet. We will be checking on the situation there in the near future. A number of you have expressed an interest in resuming our monthly meetings there and that may be possible soon. In the meantime please try to join us at Denny's. 73, Al, N3EA ? |

Re: Join QCWA Chapter 111 lunch online today via Zoom
This is a great idea Tom.? Sadly, the time conflicts with another meeting I have for work here in California.? Have fun!

If all goes OK with the restaurant, we will have Zoom Online for those who can not make the lunch meeting in person. (If we have an issue connecting from there then we will not be online and try and fix it for next time).?
Since we start at 11:30 AM Eastern, but will each be ordering from the menu, I have set the Zoom meeting to start at 11:45. No point in signing in earlier since the Zoom meeting will not be live until 11:45. I am using a free Zoom account and it will time out (shut off) after 40 minutes or about 12:25 PM. If there are only 3 people on it will go longer, but the Host counts as one of the 3. So that means 2 other members. It is OK to join with us to say Hi and not stay the whole time, or stay as long as you wish until the timer runs out. There will be a couple of awards presented today if those members are present, and if they are not present we may just announce who is getting them.
If this works (our first try at a hybrid meeting), we will improve it for the next time. We could schedule consecutive 40 minute Zoom meetings (you would get closed out when the first one ends and then have to click another link for the next one) or I may spring for a paid account so we don't have an online time limit. I also have some things in mind that will be interesting programs for both those in person and those online. More info on that to come.
You should be able to just click on the link below to get in. If needed the ID and Passcode are listed. (This is essenitally the same info that is in the link except the link encrypts the passcode).

Re: August QCWA Chapter 111 Meeting
Hi all, I have a Dr appointment at 10:30AM tomorrow and would probably be late getting to a lunch. (Only time he had open since July). This is the spine surgeon.? But even though I have been vaccinated, my 7 year old son has not, and I am too concerned about exposing him to something I cold pick up and bring home. So we are not going to "optional" things right now with the Covid rates so high. This includes restaraunts. meetings, most stores, etc. When the infection rates go back down again, I will get back out more.? It would be nice if someone brought a laptop and could do Zoom from the lunch. 47 & 73, AJ4XM, Tom Loughney, SBE, IEEE
