OSH '04 -- Early Roll Call

[Jay Honeck]

Hard to believe, but OSH '04 is less than 8 weeks away! Mary and I (and the
kids) will be attending our 22nd OSH in a row -- who else is coming?

A couple of items of note:

We have scheduled our "2nd Annual OSH Pool Party" for Sunday, July 25th. We
will be serving FREE food, beer, soft drinks and music at pool-side to all
pilots and aviation enthusiasts en route (or not!) to the Big One in
Oshkosh.

We will also be throwing our 2nd Annual "Rec.Aviation Party" at our campsite
in the North 40. Admission is a 6-pack of good beer. (Light beer will be
ceremoniously poured into your fuel tanks!)

We're leaning toward Wednesday night, unless anyone has a particular problem
with that -- in which case Thursday works, too! (Hey, we're not picky!)

I'm planning to make the 2nd annual OSH-PP and OSH again this year. I hope
to fly to both instead of driving this time.

I'll be there - camping in the Explorer base camp.

Wen. or Thur. is fine with me.

I'll bring the MOAG (mother of all grills) :-)

My family and I will be there... if they get the 182 (that the owner
wrecked) fixed in time. Nose gear, firewall, engine, prop, wing, etc.

[Jim Weir]

Gail and Jim are coming in the Classic 182. Staying at UW-O dorms. Coming in
on Tuesday and staying through Saturday. Departing for Chicago for another
convention the following week. Forums late mornings on Thursday and Friday.

Brother Steve and I will be at the annual gathering in the Honeck campsite
again this year...with a plus...bringing Dad with us this year. Anyone who
can't stand embellished stories from a retired Air Force fighter pilot
(Dad), consider yourself warned. :-)

No worries on the "good beer" front. Dad is a connoisseur. Hmmm, I may ask
him to bring some local stuff from his neck of the woods, the Deschutes
Brewery.

I'm hoping to make it this year. I may actually get the break I need in
my work schedule and I have the Bo reserved from the 27th to the 2nd
I'm looking forward to the flight from NY, I just hope I get decent
weather for the trip. I'll be camping in the North Forty if I manage to
make it.

Hope to see you there...

Cool!

I've also received word from our long-lost Montblack that he *is* still
planning on attending. Now we've just got to figure out what to cook.

Whaddya think -- BYO meat? Bring a dish to pass? We'll provide the
basics? I'm not sure how elaborate we can make a cookout in the North 40,
since we technically aren't supposed to have open fires (which some
interpret as meaning grills and stoves) at our campsite.

Opinions?

Jay...

A few things...


1. Count us in (weather dependent) on the pool party. Reserve us a room for
the evening. Of COURSE we aren't going to drink beer that afternoon because we
have to fly the next day, but I've got this friend Ernie that will drink my
share ... {;-) We stayed in the PanAm room last year, so if you've got
another room you think we might enjoy, I'll leave it to your good judgement.

2. I think we need to have a talk-in frequency. Do you have a handheld or some
other aircraft radio that you can use? The legit air-to-air frequency is 122.75
(87.187(k)), but you aren't allowed to use it from air to ground. 122.85 or
122.9 (multicom 87.237(b)(3)) seems to be a good one as it permits (on a
secondary basis) uses such as transportation, lodging, etc., but you've gotta
have a ground station license in order to use it as a ground station. 123.3 and
123.5 can be used in "pilot training" (87.323(b)), and I *do* have a license for
123.3 and 123.5, so those are semi-legit frequencies to use.

Why don'cha do this for me. Monitor 122.85, 122.9, 123.3, and 123.5 around your
place for a while and see if one of them is relatively quiet. Interfering with
another station, even if legitimately done, is never a good idea. Then post
your frequency of choice here at least a week before the party.

If you promise to construct it, I will send you the makings for a vertical
dipole weatherproof external antenna. I'll even make up the coax lead-in if you
tell me how many feet you need from the antenna to the radio inside. I mean,
after all, an aviation theme hotel HAS to have an airplane radio in the office,
don'cha think? You will need to provide about 4' of PVC waterpipe and some
wooden dowels.

I'm giving one to Jay because he is hosting the Pool Party.

Have you ever had any Spotted Cow from the New Glarus (WI) Brewing Co.

the Belgian brews?)

If not, and if I can come, I'll bring some.

Jay,

I'll be there this year, and for the first time I will be exhibiting
my software in booth 3076 in one of the hangars. Hopefully I will be
able to at least break even on the cost of exhibiting. By the end of
the week I am sure that I will have lost my voice from talking to
people all day every day for a week!

Gee, you want one, Jim sells them... may I suggest that
you purchase one from him?

I still hve a WORKING RST-442 (number may be wrong) 4-place
intercom system that I bought from Jim over 20 years ago.
Good stuff, reasonable price, and the service was OUTSTANDING!

I may. I'm not near enough to a towered airport to hear both sides of the
conversations. All I could get is local unicom, or one side of the Atlanta
Center. That makes purchase of an antenna less useful.

I have no doubt that Jim sels good stuff, and am quite sure I will some time
own some. What was the tire commercial? "Sooner or later you'll own _Jim's
stuff_"? <g>

We've gotcha in the Blackbird Suite. It's all high performance jets, and
it's close to the pool!

Yep, I've got an ICOM handheld we could use. I'm not sure where we could
put the antenna, but we'll think of something!

My old beast of an aircraft radio finally died last month, and I ordered one
of those new ones that Sporty's is advertising everywhere. Apparently it's
on back-order, though -- but I'll set up those freqs as soon as it arrives.

Well, the ideal place for the antenna would be in the stair tower. It's the
highest point around, and not far from my office. I suppose we'd need maybe
60 - 70 feet of coax to get it up there.

Thanks for everything, Jim! We're looking forward to your visit...
