[MAMS] Fwd: 10 GHz Slot Antenna Plot

[Zack Widup]

That's a long haul from EN50 but I'll listen for it. Wish I could make the
trip to Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan this weekend but I can't make it. I
am thinking of roaming around my more local area for 10 GHz QSO's. Try out
my new (to me, anyway) car and see how it does.
