WA2CBA, SK

Word came to MARCO of the passing of Doctor Alfred Greenwald, WA2CBA on August 25.

Alfred was a founding member of MARCO and long-time Treasurer of the organization, as well as an enthusiastic amateur radio operator, traveler and accomplished plastic surgeon.

Our condolences to his family and friends.

MARCO Grand Rounds for August 28, 2011

From Warren, KD4GUA:

This Sunday we will answer questions concerning hi hot helluva lot colonics left over from last week and then will, by request, discuss SALT. Besides its role as the major form of table salt in the diet, sodium chloride is responsible for the salinity of the ocean, and plays a role in the preservation of foods.

If you are a sailor, free admission, we may need your help.

MARCO Grand Rounds for August 21, 2011

From Warren, KD4GUA:

This Sunday we will discuss "The dangers of colon cleansing." Patients may look to colon cleansing as a way to "enhance their well-being," but in reality they may be doing themselves harm. Don't agree? Tune in should be fun.
There is an excellent article in the current "Family Practice" page 454 on this subject...enticing to say the least--but let's not.

MARCO Grand Rounds for August 14, 2011

From Warren, KD4GUA:

This Sunday we will discuss "The Effects of Alcohol." How many drinks does it take to make you vulnerable?

To make this cooperative, how about all 1 stations drinking one beer 30 minutes before net time; 2 stations drink 2 beers 30-45 minutes before net time; 3 stations, 3 beers; 4 stations one wine; 5 stations two wines; 6 stations 3 wines; 7 stations don't exist on Marco; 8-0 stations-NO alcohol. This will probably loosen you up! Then we can talk from experience.

Should be fun.

MARCO Grand Rounds for August 7, 2011

From Warren, KD4GUA:
Providing the big wind doesn't hit Florida Sunday--we will discuss an update on "Carcinoid" by request. We previously discussed this on Feb. 16, 1997 and on Sept. 17, 2006. This unusual tumor resembles an adenocarcinoma but follows a more indolent (less active) course. It is a strange one and we don't have all the answers yet. Tune in, should be fun.
