Pat,
Sounds good to me. If we gather at 1 pm and launch at least by 2 pm that gives us about 3 hours of light to chase them down if we want and enough time to make it to the Meet and Eat in Finksburg at 6 pm.
I have one Dirty Bird (thermister and internal voltage) that's ready to fly - I'll see if I can get the other two ready to go. I'll bring my arrow antenna and will try to locate my pibals.
73s
Rich, N3III
