Walt, This would be quite difficult to have at this time for Manu and me. We have her twin here from St. Petersburg, FL and we have my middle son and my daughter-in-law here from Newberg.
Monday or Tuesday would be better for us. Alan KF3KF

Re: November KBARA meeting on the 19th
The bulk of the in-person ARES meeting will be an "ARES 101" presentation given to ARES and K-BAR-A members and guests at WaFed's big Community Meeting Room.? I do not know if K-BAR-A will be transmitting the pre-club meeting via zoom.

Re: November KBARA meeting on the 19th
I heard mention of the Ares meeting being on zoom. But I wasn't clear if that was happening. I'd be interested if so.

ARRL Sweepstakes SSB this weekend
Hello Everyone,
For those of you that don't?plan on participating in the ARRL EME contest this weekend there is another one that might suit your fancy.? It is the ARRL Sweepstakes SSB which is always a lot of fun.? The exchange is a bit lengthy?but is quite manageable.? This is a great way to work all of the US states plus all of the Canadian provinces?in one weekend.? You have to work all 85 sections to complete a clean sweep.? I've only managed to work them all once.? For more information you can look at page on the WA7BNM contest calendar and one from the ARRL.? For logging I would suggest you grab a copy of N1MM and set it up to run your radio.

Re: The First tower is going up.
Hello Everybody,
Someday I will figure out how to make this stuff work.? Try link, it should work

Hello Everyone,
Being a recovering DX junkie isn't easy.? You have to work at it.? The easiest?way is just to yield to the temptation to get DXCC on 160m.? I already have DXCC on 80m-10m including the warc bands but 160m for me has always been a pipe dream.? You need a good antenna.? Well on that band other than a 4-square antenna which is out of the question for me, a loop antenna is second best.? Loops are quieter and not so prone to electric noise as they are magnetic (H field only).? Only problem is that at 160m you really need something formed in a square about 135 feet on?each side.? Fortunately my Wiard street property has enough space to put one up.? Last summer Terry, KA6DNO came over and drilled two 24" holes for some fixed towers.? Later I got Eric, W7KHD to help me weld up the rebar cage for the 55ft crank up?tower I've been hoarding?for the past 14 years.? This tower will be the source of the RF in the (NE) corner of the property.? The cage to support the?tower was a really big measuring 4x4x7.5 ft and weighed 280lbs.? It took 8 yards to fill the?hole.? My contractor dug the hole and set the base.? He also set the base for the other 2 fixed towers.? My contractor also poured a pad next to the big tower where I will place a cabinet to house all of the radio equipment.? That's right, the whole shebang will be remote controlled!? Well today I got my wife to help me pull up the NorthWest corner tower.? .? In the next few days I plan on erecting the SW tower So to complete the 4th (SE) tower is a work in progress.? I have a few options but I think the tower I brought home last weekend from my friend Larry Johnson will suffice nicely to form the SE corner tower.? I will keep you all posted.
