To the team who put up the new 2M antenna yesterday!

You have done a great service to the ham community in central NJ!  I was
able to QSO with Marty WB2BEW all the way down at Mercer County airport
this AM (50 watts down to 5 watts) from the mobile.  I just came in from
outside where I accessed the repeater from my backyard with the Baofeng on
its stock stubby duckie antenna.  My XYL says it sounded good on the radio
in our kitchen.  I don't think I was ever able to get into W2QW before on a
rubber-duckie equipped HT.  So...from my perspective, the project is a
complete success!

Thanks to all who helped...I was celebrating with Connie this weekend (our
43rd anniversary was June 20, but I was out of town and Field Day
intervened so this  was our first chance to get away together).  Any other
time, I would have loved to join you guys on the mountain.  You done good!

73,
