[GCARC] Mary W2TDS canceling install for June 24 - too hot

[mary delemarre]

Hello,

   I have been watching the weather forecast for next Tuesday and have
decided it will be too hot to do the antenna and radial installation.  I am
disappointed, but I would feel terrible if anyone got heat stroke in the
predicted 99 degree weather.

  I think any day over 85 degrees is too hot for being outside
for a prolonged period of time.

It may be possible to do part 3 of the install 7/2, 7/8, or 7/9.  Lee
already said he was not available 7/1.

My other plan is to wait until late August when the weather starts becoming
more fall-like.   I have waited years for an HF antenna, a few months is
not a big deal compared to risking the health of my friends.
