[KCDXC] IARU Contest 13 July DAWN to DUSK operation from Associated Radio

Wed, 3 Jul 2002 15:10:51 -0500

Now that's stepping up to the plate.. Well done Bob...
I don't care which doughnuts.. your call thanks for doing it.
All the rest of the stuff sounds great too.
I think I'll just head over to Associated some time after work 4 PM or
thereafter and get started setting up then. I talked with Dan today and he's
excited and looking forward to it as well.
