[K3CAL] Final Lighthouse plans

[donleyst at comcast.net]

Brian, 

  

Have some long standing plans to visit family this weekend so will not be able to participate. 

  

I didn't see any mention of laptops for logging.   You're welcome to the laptop I took to field day, but someone would need to pick it up Thursday evening, or I could drop off to someone who's going on the way home from work Thursday.   It still has the field day logger program on it. 



Have fun and good luck ! 

  

Shawn

Hello all

Cove Point Lighthouse (at the end of Cove Point Road in Lusby Maryland)
