[K3PZN-List] 16 Days Until Field Day

[John Hart]

Tony,

Do we have any of the county equipment on hand?  If so, I guess we could set 
it up on some Ham frequencies for demonstration purposes through one of the 
repeaters.  This could also give us a talk-in channel for the runs to a 
local store for food, beverage, etc. or any other club in the area.

John, K3KWO
