Brandon (and all):

Not sure I will be able to hear you on 2m from Pt. Woronzof.  6m holds 
better promise if you run 100w.  I can only stay until noon, when my two 
workmen are scheduled to show up.  Probably only time for 2m/6m, though 
I have 20/15/10m with 3-element yagi (pointed east).  I have it tuned 
for 20m, at present.

I'll try to have breakfast over by 11:00.

GL, Ed - KL7UW
