From Warren, KD4GUA:
Last Sunday we had 36 check-ins for the discussion on AEDs (Automatic external defibrillators). We had several funny stories--the one about the doctor whose metal stethescope was touching the bed of the shocked....they now call HIM "Sparky."
This week we will discuss "Herpes I and II"...what has happened? GOOD NEWS: According to two members, the Sun Spot Cycle turned around July 31st and we are now in the upswing!

MARCO Grand Rounds for August 13, 2006
From Warren, KD4GUA:
Last Sunday we came to the conclusion that operating a ham station is safe--but one should sit as far away from the amplifier as possible and keep the antenna high preferably at 35 feet above sea level.
This week we will discuss "AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS" and the recent recalls and safety alerts affecting them. These machines are located at airports etc., and are available to the lay population to be used in case of emergencies.
If the Latin station on 14.310 is splattering go down one to 14.307, from the usual frequency of 14.308. If no Latins we will be on 14.308.
Email from Bert Breland KA7LOT who was on board last Sunday from San Diego. He has a locum tenens in Alaska and will rejoin Marco in November. Bert was a resident of Bob Currier's, along with Chip Keister, at the Univ. of Mississippi Med School. Bert was a great contributor to Grand Rounds and it will be great to have him back.
Don't forget CW at 9:30-10a.m. Eastern time Sunday 14.308; MediShare net 14.308 Monday 9:30 p.m. Eastern

Back From A Crash!!
I'm back in business after a remarkably terrible week. Everything I looked at broke, or so it seemed.
First off, a faucet fitting in one our upstairs bathrooms began to leak. This was discovered when my wife gazed at the kitchen ceiling and asked "Hey, isn't that water?"
Next, the backup battery for our security alarm system went flat after a power outage.
Third, the computer staggered to a halt under the burden of too many broken Windows components and lousy, resource-hogging software. This took me a week to fix, and if I weren't bald before I would be now.
Thursday, August 10 was the coup-de-grace. I threw a chicken into the oven and bid my 15 year-old good luck as he walked to the park behind our house for his soccer match. About 20 minutes into the chicken, the oven died. A few minutes after that, I received a call from the park - my son had broken his wrist!
What can I say - we are all recovering slowly, and hoping for better times.

Last week we discussed "tinnitus" or ringing in the ears. This Sunday, by demand, we will talk about "fibromyalgia."
If anyone has the obit on Robin Staebler, please forward to the Newsletter at P.O. Box 127, Indian Rocks, FL., 33785 or warenbrown(at)aol.com, as he certainly should fit the shoes of "Heroes Of Marco." Any other informtion about his background appreciated.
Hope everyone received the Newsletter and that the stories made you laugh--if you submit more laughable laughs we can all do that more.
