[Lowfer] K4SCK: PLC Amateur Radio Application - APPROVED

[craig wasson]

U got mine - but I had requested two locations since we have two homes.
They only approved one of them.  Their application form allowed multiple
locations so I'm a little confused.  Did anyone else request two
transmitter locations from PLC?
