[NLRS] Invitation to join the 10G fun.

[Jeff Pahl / K0JSP]

I recently moved to the area (Red Wing) from Atlanta, and I think I
have found enough of the right boxes to possibly have enough pieces to
put together a working station.  I'm going to try and make it to Buck
Hill Saturday afternoon, at least to see if any of my stuff still
works, as it's been a couple of years and a lot of miles since any of
it was used.  As I also have to watch my 18 month old daughter for the
weekend, I'm going to try and get there during "nap time" to cut down
on the amount of assistance that I have.

If everything works, I'll go out Sunday and see if I can work everyone
from a couple of places around here.

If it doesn't work, at least I'll get to meet everyone.
