[Lowfer] WA report

Mon, 10 Feb 2003 17:02:28 -0500

Ok Bill,

I am watching, and capturing 185.300 in the QRSS30 Mode!
The captures are updated every 15 mins right now but may set back to
every 30 minutes later. http://www.wb3anq.com/latest185300.jpg

I finally dug another receiver out of mothballs!
My AOR7030+ and have it and the RX340 on the K9AY Amp
so I can monitor 137.780 at the same time and will also upload
captures for MP.

73

Larry
