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
