[NLRS] Heads-up : Wednesday 10 GHz rain scatter

[Mike King - KM0T]

Hi all, I will be on if possible.  I will be out all day for work, but will
try to get in close to late afternoon.  Will be online the UHF logger or
available by phone if things are cooking.

Good luck everyone, thanks Jon for the heads up!
