[Lowfer] NC HiFER

[Dexter McIntyre W4DEX]

John,

Thanks for confirming NC HiFer is still radiating.  I guess it has been 
on for so long it has developed it's own personality.  It's hard to 
believe it has been in continuous operation for close to ten years.  May 
20th will be it's tenth birthday.   A good time for a "reception" party?
