Hi Ed,
Sorry for not getting in sooner on your suggestion on moving the net
to Sunday after or evening.   I am all for it.
Congrats on your KX3 on its way.  Ham Nation on TwitTV had a
segment on the episode a week ago Tuesday.  It can be downloaded
from TwitTV.  Be looking forward to your presentation and demo at
the hamfest if you will be able to make it.
73, Dale - KL7XJ
