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

[Mitch Powell]

Will be transmitting on 477.3 beginning tonight   24/7   unless someone
objects    ( I did have that happen earlier ) and quite surprised at the
hostility expressed by the individual.

Let's try it again and have some fun on Field Day.

Presently 150 watts to see how things work.

And will be on 24/7 for the entire weekend of Field Day.
