[NLRS] Re: Microwave activity day - July

[wb0ljc@juno.com]

I'm open both days. However, Lenny and some others
are only able to be on the air Saturday. 

Who wants to go where? I am willing to run south to some of the
sites I've found near Northfield. I could act as tour guide again
for those sites or could show who ever wants to go how to 
get to Red Wing. I would like to work Mel at some of his
SE MN sites at the same time, but he has family obligations.
