Princess Promenade: 
Robert KC6UDS - It was nice to have Sac Metro CERT trailer to operate net control.  
There were a few operational issues, but it all worked out ok.
Rick N6KLB - Had a CERT medical team which was something new.  Was stationed under power 
lines, so couldn't put up antenna as high as he'd like.  
Robert KC6UDS - There must be a better repeater.  CERT people may have ideas about this.
Gary WA6TQJ - Brought pictures.  20 hams, 8 of them on bike.

Steve KC6HAM - At meeting with the Yolo Fire Chief's group, it was mentioned that a recent 
bike ride was a safety problem due to getting permit for ~200 riders but had > 1000 riders.  
This could possibly go to the County Supervisors and have an effect on how permits are issued.

Dave KC6YFG - Foxy's coming up.  Lunch in Winters for 50k and 100k, Lake Solono is just a 
rest stop w/o food.  6 radio sags, some no radio sags.  Hope for good weather.

Gary WA6TQJ - UCDARC should be getting old KDVS site on Kerr Hall.  

Meeting closed at 2004

Bill K6KN - Presented on interesting software and internet apps related to ham radio.
