[SADXA] still not getting your notes?

[Lloyd Johnson]

Hi Tom,

I received a copy from Larry, however I didn't see your original note.  Not sure why that is.  I did get your note about a week ago about the dx challenge but nothing since.

If you stop by Larry's on the way to Yuma,  take a close look at the sand he's talking about.  I am w little adventuresome but I would hate to get my trailer stuck out there!

I got the LO adjusted in the transverter adjusted today.  It is just a simple offset in the K3 itself.  I set it to the frequency of a buddies xverter that has the high accuracy tx osc.  That should put me pretty close.

Have fun at Yuma.... win that big doorprize!
