From Warren, KD4GUA:
This Sunday we will finally get to talk about "Just Who Needs Statin Drugs."
Last Sunday, I was out-of-town and I do not have the check-in list. Arnold WB6OJB wrote: Both Pauls from California were on board along with VE3OQM, Harry in Chicago and Chuck in Ohio. I hope someone kept a record.
I understand there was a LOUSY propogation period with no sun spots reported for about7 days. Let's hope it will improve this weekend.
On the Sick List is Bill W4Tender and Delicious, who had a lap last Friday and is in rehab.

Update from Western New York
Radio operations at KM2L were pretty well destroyed by the freak October 12 snowstorm that pounded the Buffalo area.
We expected scattered snowshowers, and instead received 20 inches of snowfall. The early date of the storm caught our trees still carrying most of their leaves, and this fact, along with the wetness of the snow conspired to bring down countless trees and/or limbs. They, in turn, brought down power lines throughout the area.
We were without power for 5 days, with electricity finally restored on the evening of October 17. All of the antennas at KM2L are down, and so are many of the trees that supported them. The cleanup effort continues and will run for a couple of months, at least.
I am attempting to salvage what I can and hope to jury rig some type of radiator this weekend. Perhaps it is an opportunity to re-engineer the antenna farm.
More later...

MARCO Grand Rounds update, October 17, 2006
From Warren, KD4GUA:
Last Sunday we discussed who and who shouldn't take statin drugs for lowering lipids. We didn't get through so will continue this a week from Sunday.
This Sunday, Harry WB9EDP is going to discuss Conformal Prostate Radiation for cancer of the prostate. I will be out of town leaving Florida for Pennsylvania on Thursday, scheduled to return Monday night.
Bruce KM2L was off the air Sunday as was Bill W4TAD, first time he has missed a Sunday in three years! Bruce probably lost power in that 4 foot snowstorm that loves Buffalo. Have fun Sunday.

MARCO Grand Rounds for October 8, 2006
From Warren, KD4GUA:
Last Sunday was a washout so we will try again this Sunday to discus "TRANS FATS" and the relationship to taking Statins. In other words do I stop eating cookies and not start taking Lipitor?
The subject is getting more intriguing every hour. Monsanto and DuPont are putting out a product that is low in linoleic acid (which causes fats to spoil) that does not have to be hydrogenated. Cookies that are hydrogenated can almost last forever.
