[Lowfer] TAG WOLFing

[John Andrews]

Warren,

I'm all set with cable, but thanks!

No CW ID... the thing just chimes away on a single frequency, so sounds 
like a carrier with blips. It should be easily audible on Rte. 302. In 
Raymond, your closest area is between the town beach on Sebago Lake and 
the Rte 85 intersection. The QTH is maybe a mile and a half north of there.

John, W1TAG
