[NLRS] Re: Microwave activity day - July

[Jim Hermanek]

Hi all....

I will be up on the North Shore camping this weekend, so won't be available
for 10 ghz around town.... am planning on exploring for sites in the
Gooseberry area and perhaps can compare observations with Lenny at the next
breakfast?   Not taking any 10 ghz along unless someone else is up in that
area by coincidence and would want a schedule?
