[KYHAM] Re: Kentucky ARES Op's May 25-31, 04 Addendum 2

[ka4map at kyham.net]

Yet more data from the May 30 period.

Gentlemen,
The events occurred hours apart, but on two dates.  It was much easier to
file two reports than to intertwine them into one.
Take care, 73, Pat, KD4PWL

had caused a good deal of damage during the evening.
