17. We need each of you to put together one or more "Kits" -- boxes of goodies that could stave off an emergency. here's what's needed and DRAFT on who might be able to bring what....

DC Connectors Kit - W9EFL

Noel - Your task here, should you choose to accept it, as with VP5FXB, is to go to Radio Shack and pick up a batch of DC connectors. An assortment of male and female phone plugs, phono plugs, DIN connectors of all kinds, male and female mini phone plugs, and anything else that falls under the heading of DC or small signal connectors that we might need. Lots of adapters. Put ‘em all in a nice neat divided plastic box. No need to bring tools – others will have them. These WILL save our tails as we start to try to connect all the pieces of gear together.

Coax Tricks Kit - N6HR

Hillar - Could you please put together a massive collection of PL-259s, BNC connectors, barrels, ¼ inch adapter sleeves for RG-8X, and miscellaneous adapters of all kinds, AND some lengths of RG-8/U and RG-8X, together with the appropriate tools, so that you can hook anything to ANYTHING in the world of coax, make up jumpers, and so forth?

AC Kit - W0CG

I’ll get a gang of 220 volt plugs and receptacles of all kinds, some work boxes, and a general assortment of 110 VAC power wiring items, including a spare breaker of two, and
some Romex, so that we will be able to power up anything, including 220 volt amps that have strange connectors.

Fuse Kit - W0CG

I'll buy and pack a boatoad of 3AG fuses? This means everything from 1 amp up to probably 10 amp. Think of all the gear we will have, and where they will have 3AG fuses, and what sizes, and bring a BUNCH in a little box. Could save the day.

2 Meter HTs - Everybody

Bring an HT if you have one. Could somebody look up a repeater frequency for Curacao?

22. Any artists? Would be very cool if somebody would make up a big banner for the station. As an example, you can look at the banner we are holding up in the QSL photo for VP5FXB at http://asgard.kent.edu/ccc/vp5fxb/qsls.htm . Very nice, professional touch!!
