Yes, the SOC Marathon Sprint will still be held this Saturday.  The SOC
club call may still be available if
any member wants to use it.  Contact:    [hidden email]   if interested.

All antennas were taken down in anticipation of Frances slamming into us
as a category 4 hurricane.
Fortunately, the storm weakened and struck a little north of us, but
still plenty of wind and rain here.
I put my 40M dipole back up at 35ft and used it in the ARS Spartan
Sprint day before yesterday.
This is still my only antenna as the others need maintenance before they
go back up.  I will be on the
air to give out SOC #1 - IF Ivan hasn't decided by then to give us a
double whammy!

I encourage all my fellow Second Class Operators (and anyone else!) to
participate in the sprint.
