Greg and other "locals",

I'm down in Jamestown close to the lake. Unless both our rigs were on a 
high hill, in nearly line-of-sight, we will probably have difficulty 
getting a QSO over the 75-85 mile distance, unless, I suppose, we had 
legal-limit output rigs. Hard to do with your Icom. What town is your QTH?

Someday in the next year or less, I will re-test for my lo-oong dormant 
ticket and I'd love to try setting up a sked just to try it :-)  I've got 
the Dovetron, but need a decent VHF rig and, especially, an M28. However, I 
gotta clear out a LOT of accumulation of stuff first before Beverly will 
allow something as big as an ASR28 to be brought in :-\  Maybe glass TTY 
will have to suffice for awhile . . .

Best of the Season,

Chris F.

NNNN
