[WARC] GRSF in WDN

See the article in today's WDN. The reporter got who said what a
bit mixed up, but it was otherwise an interesting article. We
kept her busy taking notes for over an hour so it's not
suprising that she confused a few things. My only concern is the
time frame she put in the paper (9;00 - 4:00) means that if any
people DO show up shortly after nine, they will be disapointed.

In order to be available for conversation, perhaps someone could
"start to set up" by placing the table and chairs (They are
folded up in the gazebo - which we will be able to use today.)
and studying the structure to best determine where to place the
two-meter antenna (It's there too.). I will bring several VERY
LARGE tie wraps that we can use to tie it (and the HF feedline)
off to the ornate woodwork around the eves.

The antenna feed line is currently tied off on a tree. It will
have to be moved to the gazebo. The twinlead won't reach fully
to the gazebo and will have to be continued with the coax that I
have in my car. If someone decides to arrive a bit early (in
this setting - before 10:00) than it might pay to take a wire
cutters to clip the tie wraps that are holding the feed line to
the tree.

See you later.
