[K3CAL] I'm Done

Mon May 26 18:46:41 EDT 2025

Forgot about the first aid kit. Actually... my daughter donated that. She
won it at one of the volunteer fire/EMS gigs several years ago and didn't
really net it so... Thanks Meaghan!!!

Being a retired firefighter/EMT, I suppose I could be the safety officer
and fill out that form.

I will check my ferrite beads stash and see if I have some for any
additional coax that needs it.
