[K3PZN-List] Fwd: Cycle Across Maryland 2003 - Request to use the Repeater

Sun, 13 Jul 2003 21:52:36 -0400

Hi Steve,

CAM gets my vote.  It would also have my help as a communicator if I had not recently taken a full time job (first one in over seven years, if you can believe that).

I won't be at the meeting (thanks again to the job), but please count my vote "for, in absentia".  Yeah, I know.  You can't do that, but at least my position is known.

73,
Tony KF3AK
