[NLRS] Saturday July 17th 10GHz Antenna testing

[WBØLJC]

Just a reminder about Saturday's activity.

I will have a boomerang for 10 G and 24 G WBFM to test
system sensitivity.

I will also bring my 10 G and 24 G narrow band units.

For the cook out, bring your own food and drinks.
Who is going to bring the grill?

Directions an other info is in Donn's email.

If you don't have any equipment you are still invited
to see what we are doing and to just hang out with
the group.

Hope to see you all there.

73, Gary  WBØLJC
