[Lowfer] Hamcom presentations are posted and Field day demo event is next weekend

[Mitch Powell]

Good day John:
I would like to participate in the LF/MF demonstrations for Field Day.
Been away for a dew days, but spent the afternoon checking the gear.  Looks
like a clear frequency at 477.3 kHz... and have achieved resonance ( for a
change ! )

VE3OT    ON    477.3    CW       <1 W      VE3OT
