[NLRS] 10 Ghz test this Sat.

[Charlie & Joan Betz]

Assuming that Bob, KB9PJL is able to get our dishes tweeked up on Saturday
at the 10GHz range, and assuming we can get the systems assembled, Bob and I
discussed th possibility of setting up atop Elk Mound Hill on Monday evening
to listen for you.  A SD to WI QSO would be rather neat.

Charlie, N0AKC
