[TAC] FP Trip

[Hank Kohl K8DD]

Talked to Dave VO1AU on 20 CW last night - he is VO2AAA on NA-044 Battle 
Harbor Island on holiday.
Asked him if he was interested in FP for CQ WW CW.  He said interested 
and he will be looking forward to some email.
You guys all left Saturday and Sunday morning we had a real storm!  50+ 
mph winds, 1.4" rain and limbs all over the yard and a couple large 
trees out back in the woods down.  Been out of power since noon 
yesterday .... generator been running - it's like Field Day in July!
