Christopher and I intend to go out on a 4 to 6 grid trek.  I haven't been
able to get anything working yet on 1296, so as of now we'll be 222, 432,
and 902 only.  But it should be a nice father-son rove before he heads off
to college.

Also we'll invoke the family rule and give everybody two QSOs for the
effort, so please look for us.  Details to follow.

Hope to work a bunch of you!

73,

David  W9HQ

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its
victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber
barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty
may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those
who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so
with the approval of their own conscience" (C. S. Lewis, *God in the Dock*).
