At the Harvest Gathering,  N7GLR gave N1UYA a vertical antenna to give the Fort Kent Elementary School. The antenna was delivered to the school a couple of days later. I still do not see it mounted, so will check with the school this week.

Old Business:
Rocky Mountain: Noted that the Rocky Mountain repeater is not operating. Its silence was noted on Oct. 27th.

This was a very informal meeting. We had decided at the October meeting to have the Harvest Get Together instead of the November meeting. However, N1UYA, received an e-mail from N7GLR at 6:00 PM on the night of the meeting confirming a meeting for that night---or rather, requesting confirmation. Since I had been away all afternoon, I could not remind him of the no meeting. So I went to UMFK, after asking N1PMS to please go to UMFK to tell Charley and Ruth I would be late. Thanks, N1PMS. 
    

    Since this was not an official meeting, we conducted no business, just had some interesting discussions and ate Eskimo Bars (brought by N7GLR.)

     On November 4th, N1UYA and Stan Flagg drove up to Rocky Mountain. The road in to the base cabin was improved. It had been widened and then was no problem, except a rather high hump in the middle. The trail up the mountain was in fair shape. Somebody had clipped some branches. I don't know who, but thanks to whoever.
There were four blow downs, one a beautiful clear 16" diameter spruce.
Stan cut away the blow downs, except the one at the top, which someone else had cleared somewhat. On the exterior, everything looked okay.

    On Nov. 17th, N1CHF and N1JHD went to Rocky Mt. They found the trap door had been broken open (heavy plywood) and some one had entered the tower building and moved some of the radio equipment. Steve found a blown fuse, which he replaced.  He does not know why it was blown. The batteries were dead. They were also dry. Water was added. N1JHD did  a lot of work on the door, putting  in new screws for
