[K3CAL] Maryland QSO Party.

Sat Jul 23 10:29:43 EDT 2011

Hi Folks,

I had spoken with Dave briefly before he went to FL.  He was going to drop
me  line when he returned regrading taking  look at the Broomes Island
site.  I guess he is still away since I have not heard from him.  If anyone
else wants to look at it, we can do it almost anytime this week.  Just drop
me a line and we can arrange a time.  I just don't want to ask for the use
if the group is not interested.
