    I just received a letter in the mail from SAC Museum Director Scott
    Hazelrigg. The SAC Museum is agreeable to hosting the QSO Party again
    on Saturday and Sunday, September 16 and 17, 2000. As was the case last
    year, the SAC Museum is providing access to the facility during their
    regular hours of operation for our station and our volunteers at no
    charge.

    The Event Committee is still recruiting members to help with specific
    planning and setup tasks. In particular, the following areas for
    improvement have already been identified:

    1. informational displays/visual aids
    2. greeter training and preparation
    3. HF antenna configurations to allow efficient and interference-free
       operation of two radios on different bands (with at least one band
       being 20 or 40 meters at all times)

    Item #1 is being initially addressed by John Sheffield, N4OWG, who will
    have some sketches of proposed displays for the March meeting.
    Implementation of the other 2 items will be dependent on additional
    committee volunteers.

    Anyone interested in pursuing #2 or #3, or even another task not yet
    identified, please contact me via E-mail.

    73, Paul W. Schleck, K3FU
