[K3CAL] Field Day Equipment (Results of Field Day Meeting held 5-19-2015)

[Monica Noell]

Hi Tom,

Of course you may!!

I expect to address all of the Field Day questions and suggestions 
tonight at our monthly meeting.  I will then send out another results 
email to let those who can't attend on what to expect (or not expect) on 
Field Day.

Even in the rain, we will still be meeting tonight at the County 
Services Building, main level, 7:30 p.m.

Monica
