[PVRCNC] FD2008

[henry at summitschool.com]

FYI- the NC WEST group pulled sicko duty with the Forsyth ARC, running 5A off batteries- qrp- gads. 2nd US sounds good, but only out of 4 entries in the category. Hell, still sounds good. 
Oh, yeah, its not a contest.

See you all this weekend in phone SS. We'll be running our own calls as well as a multi op at W4WS.
Anyone for beers in Burlington after the new year?
Kaz?
