[K3PZN-List] FD Wx and Other

[Curt Milton]

Andy/Bill and the Team

thanks for info -- i too can bring some coax, to manage the temp of the CW operators!  yes you (Andy) should follow thru with operating some CW !  i hope to op a little at all three modes (if the captains allow ...)

given the outdoor temps, no reason to start too early tommorrow!  let's communicate our intentions via the reflector as 2 pm tommorrow approaches.  

i am putting finishing touches on a one page color flyer -- pictures and links to ARRL's PR websites (and our club)

73, curt
