[SMCARA] Re: Marathon This Weekend - Final Reminder!

[Jane Macone]

All, hope someone is making it down to the meeting,
I'm stuck at home waiting for the "cable guy" -
actually DirecTV -   But I plan on getting there
tomorrow as close to 0600 as possible.  If anyone
goes, please send an email about which repeater to
meet up on or dual band repeater frequency pair. 
Thanks, 73  Dan AA3TB
