  Sorry I was late getting this done ... I have added the radar image 
associated with Barry and my 10Ghz rain scatter contact yesterday.
Interesting to look at WITH the radar image from Gary's and my contact.
Interesting "side note" Gary was running NEG elevation of a couple degrees 
ALSO on our contact! Hummmmm ....

 I am using   http://www.wunderground.com  's NEXRADs images which 
allows "revisiting" old radar images and many other options including"Tops".
This is a very nice source of flexable radar data.

  If conditions look good toward the south from here, I can be "on the dock" 
in just a couple of min. That is nice too, because I can use the wireless 
phone for coordination.  218-326-5658 

  It seems fine with Gary if I hang on to this system a bit longer. (He needs it 
before the Sept contest.) If anyone is heard NORTH during the next couple 
weeks with 10Ghz ... I would sure like to know about that too!

  I have NOT ordered a DEM .... I am very interested in how Jon K0FQA's 
QualComms transverter conversion turns out. It uses a phaselock loop which 
could be very nice.
