[Lowfer] MP 137.780 ON

[Bill Ashlock]

Mitch,

As I told you earlier, MP made a good showing here in eastern Mass last 
night in spite of numerous static crashes from the storm (including 4 -8" of 
snow for New Hampshire!). I am already seeing MP at 6:40 this evening and 
will continue to capture the action.

Good show and happy looping!
