[Amateur-SIG] Softrock 5 Project - rescheduled

[Mark Erbaugh]

Softrockers,

It turns out that George has a conflict on this Saturday (2/4). I've not
received an overwhelming response for that date anyways. George, Mac (our
host at Sinclair) and I have discussed things and it turns out that next
Tuesday (2/7), which is our normal meeting night is available. We are
rescheduling for then. I know that this conflicts with our planned Hooters
Wings party, but that will be rescheduled for later.

 Mac will have some practice boards available, so even those who aren't
building kits can get some surface mount practice. Surface mount is the way
of the future, already some parts are no longer available as through hole.
So if you plan on working on your newer equipment, you need to learn to work
with surface mount. There is also equipment available for soldering the
through hole parts on the kits, so there's no need to bring your iron.

The lab will be available from 5pm to10pm so you are welcome to come early.
The lab is building 1, 2nd Floor, Room 23. George will be following up with
an email about free parking at one of his client's across the street.  If
you do park at Sinclair, don't park under Building 12 (Ponitz Center). That
is reserved for corporate training. You can park in the Sinclair garage ($2
for non-students).

There still may be time to order a kit, though I don't know if they are
still avaialble. Contact Tony Parks via email at raparks at ctcisp.com

73,
Mark
