Thanks very much for the Reminder, Scott. Your kit-selling, solder 
class, and tool fund remarks are of course related to the Durham 
hackerspace called "Splatspace".

I'll be there with a table and a decent sign and handouts to do with 
TriEmbed. (I will run a PDF through my printer and paper cutter for 
Splatspace handouts & sign if somebody sends me the right PDFs to use).

If anybody wants to buy a Cushcraft A-4S tribander and Force-12 balun I 
can deliver it to your driveway for $450 and save myself hauling it to 
the 'Fest and trying to fit it through the doors. I'll have a few other 
bits and pieces for sale on Saturday.

Also, thanks for putting the "TriEmbed hosted by Splatspace" meeting in 
your sights for Saturday. Any news on the Splatspace ventilation front? 
I'm absolutely itching to teach surface mount assembly with real 
stencils, paste, and oven if/when that would be appropriate.

I'm cross-posting to the local radio contesting email list to "increase 
awareness of local resources". :-)

Regards,
Pete (AD4L)
