[SFDXA] Fw: Tower Party

[Michael M. Raskin]

Hi Tom - I cc'ed my message to several of your mutual friends and Bob
may be willing to help take it apart.  I'm also sending this to the
FCG and SFDXA members to see if someone else can help Bob take it
apart.  There is a Motorola Free Flea Saturday morning and, if Bob can
be here, I will ask some of the guys to volunteer to come to my house
after the Free Flea.  I will be here to help Bob.  How about it guys,
say at 11am?  Please bring tools as most of mine are in Stuart.  We
have to have it off the roof by April 6th.  How about it guys, Bob has
volunteered.  Most of you know Tom, W8JI, who is fellow DXer and
contester - who will volunteer to help him.  Tom has urgent family
commitments which prevents him from leaving Georgia or he would have
been here for the tower party.  How about it?  Can we help Tom?  Can
we count on you to be here after the Free Flea at about 11am?  Please
email me and Bob if you can help - I will be in Stuart for the next
several days but be reached at 954-818-6650.

73,
