Ah...this one was answered last year (good question though):

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.

Do you have plans for such a beastie on your website, and if not, how 'bout
putting them there sometime. :-)

Jim...

I understand what you say, but it is a kit that I sell. I don't mind giving
away ideas and such that don't put bread on the table, but I'm afraid this one
is proprietary.

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

Ok, I didn't realize that. No problem, and I understand.

Jay,
Have you ever had any Spotted Cow from the New Glarus (WI) Brewing Co.
(or for special occasions their Rasberry Tart or Cherry brews...like
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
