[K3CAL] FW: 50k Rosaryville

[Jim Tetlow]

All, not much information sent and pretty late to plan doing an event
(tomorrow) but here is what I got. 7 am start tomorrow (maybe 4 to 5 hour
event???). Will take all volunteers; contact trough AARC repeater 147.105 pl
107.2 simplex for club frequency is 146.430. Thanks and sorry this is so
late. (bring HT; 2 meter; if you have one).

Regards,
Jim Tetlow

The event starts 7am saturday, I'll have a mast in place at the
pavillion that Mark will operate as base.  Anyone who happens to be
able to show up will be of use, sorry about that thought I had gotten
all the emails where they needed.
