[Lowfer] 137.776 For A Few Hours...

[Bob Raide]

John;
Bad weather certainly can foil any listening.  Noisey here tonite and the bad weather is still well west of here.  I'll be on during the week.  Big problem is lack of radial system.  Only one ground screen out as have all this rain we have been getting makes for allot of grass to grow!
We will have better luck next month when I can get my chicken wire stretched back out-73, Bob
