Party Time: Sept 3, Friday


 

QRPopsters,

I am going to have an open-house/picnic/operating for the QRPops members and their spouses/significant others and children at my house. My XYL, who is tolerant of my ham activities but not overly enthusiastic, will be away for a few days and I am taking a full advantage of her absence. Here are the details. (Nick, you can bring your baby son if you like: I have a nice quiet room for him and his mother to take a nap.)

DATE: Friday, Sept 3. 11am -5pm. ?

I know this is not an optimum day/time for many of you. You are not only welcome to just drop by for any length of time or just for a quick lunch or drink during the 6 hour period.

PLACE: My house and its deck. 3 Sandstone St., ?Portola Valley 94028

If you get lost on the way my cell ?is 415 713 0369 and landline is 650 851 4448.

From 280, get off at Alpine Rd and go west. It's about 4 miles from the junction.?Turn left onto Indian Crossing. Go 1/4 mile and turn left at the first stop sign, drive up the hill (Sandstone St) a few hundred meters and go around the island. You will see the house number ("3") on the curb and the pos box.

EATS and DRINKS: Hot dogs, corn, beer and soft drinks. For vegetarians I will have tofu and eggplant. Any special dietary restricted people will be accommodated if let me know

WHAT TO BRING: Nothing required. You can bring your QRP rigs if you want to operate from the deck. No 5 element portable Yagis or quads please.

RSVP with a number of people you are bringing so that I will have enough food for everyone to eat and drink.

I hope to see many of you.

73,

Hiroki AH6CY

Great. You can bring your FT817 and antenna and test your set up. You may be able to have your first QSO if not already. ?There will be plenty of OMs to show you how. You can bring your daughters, too, if they are interested. If they get bored they can read books, ?watch DVDs or TV downstairs, undisturbed by ham activities upstairs and on the deck.

Thank you for the invitation Hiro. I look forward to the get together. Also, it will present a great opportunity to ensure that Rhona makes a few Q's.

Hiro,

Anke and I would love to come by. We will get there around 12:30 or 1. I will bring my Tony Parks receiver for everybody to take a look at. Get your Illy vertical out that will really impress the wife.

I have been replacing a roof-deck on the house which turned out to be a lot bigger project than I thought, so QRP has been on the back burner for the last month. I think I should have the thing back together by the end of September.

Maybe I will see you at AMTECH today.

Thanks for the invite, Dave W6VYC
