[Elecraft] OT 4M

[Rick WA6NHC]

Not sure to whom your are speaking, but not awful in NorCal.  
http://narcc.org will show you (wash your mouse, keyboard and hands 
afterwords, quite dense in bovine fertilizer and politics).

Many of the systems are intertied (IRLP or RF) so the limited coverage 
area works pretty well for channel re-use not so far away (Bay Area, 
reuse in the Sac area etc.).

WAAAY OT now; I'm done...  ;o)

73,
Rick wa6nhc (GTX/LCS owner)
