[South Florida DX Association] LATITUDE/LONGITUDE - Zip CodeReferences

[KAPPY,WA4WTG]

Good morning Bill: Many for this info on Lat/Long plus. I called W2JG early
this morning(SUnday) at 7;30a.m.to tell him I wud pick him up at 9.a.m. but
he told me he had a bad headache, so I too decided to stay home instead of
going down to the show. Slept till ten o'clock, as I needed that sleep, hi.
So am home and will relax for the day. It was a nice get together and I know
we all enjoyed the day. Hve a gud one, enjoy, shalom, Kappy
