[K3pzn-board] Board Meeting + Hiker Speaker

Wed Jul 21 20:30:19 EDT 2010

To all,

I will not be able to make the Board Meeting tonight as I am in Columbus, Ohio and will be heading home tomorrow.  I tried to get back into the East Coast on HF PSK-31 over the last several days from Chicago, but no luck.  

See you all soon,

John, K3KWO

His article on his adventure and radio operations is quite interesting! Let me know what you think. So far we have 4 yes responses and perhaps a bunch of yawns from our reflector on this suggestion.
