| Hi guys,
Hope to see a few of us on Sunday. That site looks like a good one.
That is one interesting website Dave F. There seems to be no end to what the internet can provide in terms of information.
Everyone enjoy the long weekend!

Dave,
Tim has suggested that we post to QRPops so that everybody can see all this good stuff. It was my fault for not posting my original e-mail.

If I were more hip I suppose I would tweet stuff like
this, but anyway...

Just on a lark I searched for abandoned radio stations
which led me to:

From here I got to: ?
If you follow the sub links you get to >>States >>California?
Some interesting places to string up curtain antennas, long wires, etc.?

Low power doesn't mean low gain!? Road trips
rule!? (OK, I'll settle down now.)

Howdy Folks,
It's been a while. ?I don't think I'll be able to make it out this
weekend either. ?The baby is jus around the corner and I've plans to put
together the baby's stuff and clean out the garage. ?I have a backpacking
trip next weekend, my last before stopping the outdoors stuff. ?Have fun
this weekend and Happy Memorial Day!

Tim and All,
Looks like an interesting spot. Maybe
we can meet there this Saturday or Sunday. Weather should be good. If we
plan to get together I will post a message on QRPops.
I got a
pair of W4RT Collins filters (500, 2300 Hz) for the 703 and installed
them today. Really makes a difference particularly the CW filter. Watch
out all you diddy boppers here I come....

| Just got off the phone with Patrick and he is
very familiar with the end of Bay Road. Apparently, it is a
popular spot for nature lovers and walkers and would be fine for
our purposes.
FYI, Cathy and I enjoyed Neil's flank steak special
tonight....hmm good!

Tim,
Dave F. and I were looking
for a venue along the bay for a possible outing next
weekend (Memorial Day). We were looking at the end of
Bay Road (south end of Ravenswood Park). There appears
to be an abandon building on a small peninsula that
extends into the bay with a parking lot nearby. The best
I can tell the area is not gated. Tim, could you check
with your son to see if we could setup some antennas out
there. I will also call the Mid Peninsula Open Space
(650 691-1220) to see if they are in charge of the
area.
Dave
