Gang,

Something is terribly wrong here and I don't
know what to do about it. I have been working
for several weeks on a secret project and it
was to appear this weekend for the FYBO contest.
But alas, a more serious issue has arisen and I
will be unable to pass out the K5FO signal
report from a warm TX climate.

I must place myself at a point of departure (DFW)
on Wednesday to once again return to CA. I have
been so worried about the foxhunt results and the
closeness of the race between TX and CA that I
must go back and get some additional information
that I couldn't get previously. Working behind
the scenes to counter the attack that CA is making
on the scores with THEIR secret antenna systems
and some alien induced ionospheric charged particle
density propagation multiplier. So it is open
season now for first place in the contest. :-)

Doug Hendricks warned the Northern California Club
members at Livermore and at the California Burger
Place that I was on a secret mission previously
and thus reduced the quality and validity of data
acccumulated on the last trip. But not this trip
Good Buddy. I will find out. We have ways.....

So, this coming Friday evening around 6:30 pm
February 21st, a secret meeting will be held at the
Pizza place next to the Two Guys from Italy
on Camino Real in Mt View/Sunnyvale CA. Doug
Hendricks and his wife JoAnne and I will be there.
The rest of the CA gang is invited. I figure if
enough pizza is eaten and a round of drinks later
the information will flow and I will be able to
return to Dallas in March with enough information
to give TX a clean sweep in the foxhunt over both
CA and AZ. This is getting serious. ;-) :-)
No expense spared for the TX tribe.

I think the CA crowd is up to some behind the
scenes maneuvering to keep me occupied while all
this fun activity is in progress. I have been
called to CA for a weekend meeting and will be
locked up all day Saturday during the contest.
I'll try to sneak in a 20M receiver just to keep
everyone on their toes.

But that's alright 'cuz on Sunday I have to go to MD
and check on the Merry Milliwatters and make sure
that they are behaving themselves. They must have
done something to Bob White, WO3B, and I have to
run over and check to see that he is doing OK.
The boy is missing in action.

I have got to get American Airlines to start draggin
long wires at 35K and up just to get on the air.
Instead of being in-the-air. :-) What damage can
950 mW due on 30M at 35K? Heck, KL7 would be LOS
(line of sight). ;-)
