[Fists] USS Pampanito NJ6VT Operation on June 7th

[Dennis K6DF]

To All FISTS Ops,

An update on the USS Pampanito CW operation.

I have been down ill the past two days with the crud that is going 
around.  Since I am still running a fever, I do not think it prudent to 
take this over to the sub into a confined space with the other ops.

My apologies to one and all, I was looking forward to this event.

73, Dennis K6DF
