I apologize for being so inactive, but life has be not great for me.

But I hope to make up for that starting in September. Which is when the Twin Cities Furs ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sncfurs/ ) are having our fall picnic! And what I would like to try is to bring along my TS-130S station and try and introduce every one. Even a little. Sorry no slow scan or imaging possible at my end. The one problem I am concerned with is the location of the picnic. It is along the Mississippi river, down in a tight valley park, named Hidden Falls park. So I am unsure about how well I can get a signal out, or receive at that. I would like to try a test set up a week or so before hand to see how well it can work.

Any one else interested in making a 'event' of this?
