[NLRS] Central States

Wed Jul 22 12:51:25 EDT 2009

Hey...We're JUST trying to make it a Conference you WILL 
remember!

The message WAS 'spell checked'! ;o)~

It DOES appear that the hosting committee's order for "cooler" 
temperatures in Chicago was confirmed, overnight low of 62 F for 
Thursday night and staying below 80 F through the morning on 
Friday (antenna range time) with a mid-day high of 84 F. Not AS 
certain regarding the NON-rain order (forecast presently 
indicates "after 4pm" so that *may* be okay, too).

73, JK
