[nrv-hams] Possibility of setting up at Scout Camps

[Russ Abbey]

Hi All,
Ben, I am interested, but you know my health.  As long as I am sitting I am
OK, but if I have to stand it would not be prudent for me to be there.  I
do like this idea, and will let the Hams in Floyd know and hopefully we can
get you a couple extra bodies from here.
