			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>W4A 5A WCF<br />
IOTA NA034 Fl 1325<br />
Mullet Key</p>
<p>Our park permit for 2010 is good Friday thru Monday so we can enjoy ourselves a little longer.</p>
<p>Set-up begins at 8AM, Saturday June 26.  We begin operating at 2PM on Saturday and continue until 2PM Sunday June 27.</p>
<p>HOW TO GET THERE! : Go by the boat ramp and camp grounds&#8230;turn right at the big flag pole onto Anderson Blvd.</p>
<p><img src="http://alphalpha.us/images/entrance.jpg" alt="Entrance" width="480" height="362" /></p>
<p>You will see a sign that says Historic Fort and Fishing Pier right before the stone gate supports. Turn left on that road.</p>
<p><img src="http://alphalpha.us/images/sign.jpg" alt="Sign" width="480" height="358" /></p>
<p>Follow the paved road&#8230;it will bend sharp to the right.</p>
<p><img src="http://alphalpha.us/images/road_to_museum.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Watch on your left for a sand road with a sign that says &#8220;Park Dept. Vehicles Only&#8221;. Turn onto the sand road and follow it for a short distance and you will be in the set up area. Please stay on the mowed grass!</p>
<p><img src="http://alphalpha.us/images/behind_trees.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The road will bend right toward the Gulf of Mexico&#8230;</p>
<p>There will be an Osprey Nest on a pole to your left on the sand road&#8230; we must keep away or Ranger Bob will have a fit.</p>
<p>We will monitor our repeater (145.310 PL 103.5) and 147.550 simplex inside the park.  Hope to see you there!</p>
<p>Mike N4MAA</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Next Saturday &amp; Sunday Nov 7th &amp; 8th is the <a title="Art Arbor Festival Website" href="http://www.artarborfestival.com/" target="_blank">29th Annual Art Arbor Family Festival</a> at Boyd Hill Nature Trail (located at the south end of Lake Maggiore; 1101 Country Club Way South).</p>
<p><a title="Directions" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=1101+Country+Club+Way+South+st.+petersburg,+fl&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=47.704107,114.169922&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=1101+Country+Club+Way+S,+St+Petersburg,+Pinellas,+Florida+33705&amp;ll=27.729407,-82.651885&amp;spn=0.013105,0.027874&amp;z=16&amp;iwloc=A" target="_blank">Click here for directions.</a></p>
<p>Tom AI4QP is looking for communicators to man the two parking lots and call by radio to report empty parking places.   It makes it easy on the public not to have to drive around looking for a spot.   It is a fun gig especially if we have too many hams there (makes for a lot of bull to shoot).</p>
<p>Please email me if you would like to help out.   If you can stay for a 2 hour shift, that would help out greatly.   Bring a chair, a few drinks and join us in the fun.   After parking duty (or before) you can enjoy the festival with music,  food and exhibit booths there is stuff to buy and stuff to see.</p>
<p>The festival runs Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM. Knock off time varies but is usually around 3 or 4 PM.</p>
<p>73,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is a sad day for everyone that knew Rick Crabtree, KG4MRH (the antenna, tower man).  Rick passed last night in his sleep at 55 years of age. He was always willing to help anyone and everyone with their antennas or any chore that needed muscle. I will miss the jokes he played on me, his humor and his ability to feed the group. Rick &amp; Tracy were the planning department when it came to picnics and welcomed Udo &amp; MJ&#8217;s kitchen to the Alphalpha Repeater Group. “You can’t have too many kitchens”, Rick stated.</p>
<p>Rick taught the antenna portion of our Tech Class and was a certified Lealman Special Fire District CERT member.</p>
<p>At this point in time I don’t think there will be any service just a large picnic in the future. I will keep you all informed.</p>
