[Clegg] Zeuss and Interceptor.. .on the air.

[jim lockwood]

Haven't heard much activity here (Kalifornia).  I've had an SDR 
dongle tuned to 50.125 most of the week and except for a few locals 
trying to force an opening, I haven't heard anything.  Of course, my 
luck, yesterday when the band might have been open, I wasn't monitoring.
