Fingertip tapper
Larry Clement W2LAC
I just received my new "Fingertip tapper". It's a wonderful little key that you tap with two fingers. It's the size of a credit card with a 30" wire and a 1/8th" sterio plug on it. It's from NJQRP Club and for $29.00 you can't go wrong. It comes in several colors and has your name and call sign on it. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Paul, great fishing! Since we hope to be flying kites for antenna skyhooks, would you have any idea of the prevailing wind at Brutus? From the charts it seems to be from the southwest. 72....Walter . K5EST

Last Saturday I hooked a 18 inch bass in the strip pit that Brutus sits on... If radio is slow some good fishing should be available.....

I will be away from home for a few days, planning to spend the weekend in Indianapolis and attending the Indy hamfest . There will be no shipments - parts or kits - till early next week. If you email me a request for parts or order a kit it will be shipped early next week. Everything I have received orders on through July 10th has been shipped, including parts requests. Thanks for your understanding. 73 Dan -- KB9JLO

Brutus is 22 miles SW of Pittsburg, KS at West
Mineral. Restrooms are available in the museum building. This is a
really nice /P outing QTH - wide open spaces, low man made noise,
Brutus dominates the scenery, inexpensive camping, neat well kept parklike
grounds, and a few medium sized trees. There are 10 campsites with
electricity for trailers or motor homes, and lots of area for tents.
Camping fees were $10/nite for tents and $15/night for campers.
More info here:
This year Walter and I are going fly kites to
hoist antennas. It will be a sight to see so bring your
cameras..

GM Walter,
You're right we did settle on the

calendar I saw that the 8th was the 2nd Sunday and jumped the
gun.
What say guys? How does the 14th
and 15th work for you?

If you're a fan of fried chicken, you can't do better than Chicken Annie's (some will say Chicken Mary's!). When my mother-in-law was still with us (she lived in Parsons, KS), we always made it to Chicken Annie's Annex just south of Pittsburg any time we visited. Their onion rings are the best I've ever had!!!
Not sure if I can make it to Big Brutus but ya' never know! 72/73 Bruce AA5CO (Will be getting my Cyclone 40 (Ol' #52) from Ed WG5F this weekend. Thanks, again Ed!)

Re: Brutus Dates
Walter - K5EST
Guess I was thinking its the 2nd weekend, 14th & 15th of September. Honestly don't matter to me. All we need is good winds for kite antenna flying and super propagation. Will get it in the QRP Banner upcoming events as soon as its firmed up. 72...Walter . K5EST

Re: Brutus Dates
Jeremy Utley
Sounds good to me too! I'm actually
planning to camp this year. Maybe by then I'll have the new KX3
I'm saving up for, but if not, I'll bring the 817. Have a new
portable antenna I'm getting ready to build too - first deployment
will be in a couple weeks at Toronto State Park when WA6CML and I
go camping. Basing the new antenna on this setup by KC8VWM: http://www.eham.net/articles/21744
Just need to track down some smaller gauge wire to wind into the
reels (all I have hanging around is 14AWG, and I want to fit
enough in there to get a full size 80m dipole if possible. Will
try to take pictures of the setup during the trip! Jeremy, N9PH Iola, KS

Hi Terry,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I would prefer it to be a week later, if possible. If it was a week later, it would be on my weekend off, and it would be much nicer to not have to take all most a weeks vacation (36 hours worth) to get Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights off. I haven't talked to Joe K0NEB lately, but if I can talk him in to going I suspect that he will want to have it on the date you have picked.. Will have to talk to him this weekend if he shows up at the QRP "lark in the Park" our group is having this weekend. I have offered him the loan of one of my other tents and camping stuff.. so will have to see what he says this weekend. Unless he replies here... Joe? Mike, NF0N , is not sure as of the last time we talked. He is getting a new knee as soon as he gets back from a week long bike ride across Wisconsin the 2nd week of August. He's not sure how well he will be feeling by the time it rolls around. I will have to put in for vacation time soon, so the sooner the better as far as picking a date goes! Just have to know for sure. 73 - Arnie KA0NCR

Re: Brutus Dates
Sounds good to me Terry. Wife will be retired by that time so we ought to be able to make it. Don't have any camping equipment so are there any fairly decent motels in the area?
