>CQ WVDXers-
>OK, I heard the voices of the multitudes crying out for a gathering of 
>our order.  We are long overdue on a meeting. Someone even mentioned, 
>"barbecue"" or cookout/picnic or some such.  Sounds great to me!  So I 
>am putting out this feeler to see what kind of response we get.  Here's 
>the plan; you guys pick the date.
>
>Since next weekend is Memorial weekend and the third and fourth 
>weekends of June are the WV QSO Party and ARRL Field Day respectively, 
>I am polling the delegation to see how everyone feels about getting 
>together on either Saturday, June 2 or Saturday, June 9.
>
>"Getting together for what and where," you ask.   Fair enough.
>
>By executive decree, this will "officially" be an installation barbecue 
>to welcome Clark Stewart, W8TN as the new president of WVDXA.  Yes, 
>believe it or not, the accounting firm of Price-Waterhouse finally 
>concluded the vote tally of ouir recent WVDXA election.  I want to be 
>the first to offer my congratulations to Clark for this stunning upset 
>victory over his challengers.  I think it only fitting that Clark be 
>duly welcomed into this distinguished position with a rousing 
>celebration that includes large quantities of meat, fine pastries and 
>cold drink.  At this time I want as many members as possible to join me 
>as I pass on the WVDXA gravel.  Sorry, but we don't have a gavel to 
>give you at this time Clark.  So we will be throwing a few rocks at you 
>to prepare you for the position.
>
>And aside from the necessities required for installing Clark, who by 
>the way, will have more than ample time on his hands to do the 
>presidency the justice it deserves now that he has nearly completed the 
>final phase of construction of his Taj Mah QTH.  I am sure I speak for 
>the rest of the club when I say I certainly look forward to the next 43 
>installments of his excellent updates on the SteppIR project.  I guess 
>I am still trying to figure out how this thing is a "stealth" antenna 
>when you have had concrete trucks, cranes, lumberjacks and throngs of 
>helpers triapsing down over the hill behind your house.  There wasn't 
>this much activity involved in making the great pyramid. If your 
>neighbors haven't figured out what's going on back there by now, we 
>certainly don't want them working for the State Department, do we Dave 
>K8MN?  Now that I have digressed, let me get back to my intended point 
>about the other important item on the agenda for the "business" portion 
>of the meeting.   That is to swap stories about the BS7H operation and 
>celebrate the successes of our members who were fortunate enough to get 
>through the pileups.  I think we have a few stories to share.  And for 
>those of you that didn't make it, please join us and share your 
>experience as well. I think it would be nice if we bring our spousal 
>units or anyone else that you think would feel at home with "our kind" 
>as we are sometimes described.
>
>So please, let me know your preferred date ASAP as well as time.   Oh, 
>location?   The Museum of Radio and Technology in Huntington, WV.
>
>I look forward to hearing from you!
