[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Weather forecasts for Saturday around here and northeast iowa are for 30 
or 40% chances of thunder showers. >

for Decorah, IA.

My truck hasn't been run since last fall and killed the battery. The new 
battery hasn't taken a full charge unless it has in the last few days. 
Right now I don't trust the truck for a few miles of traveling and for 
sure not for long distances like the typical 1000 miles for a weekend of 
roving.

Due to the untrusty truck and the rain in the weekend forecasts I'm 
staying home and not turning on the 10 GHz radio.

I would love to set up on a 60 or 100 foot tower at home but that won't 
happen for a long time.

73, Jerry, K0CQ
