[W2CRA] Important, Field Day

[Art Greenberg]

Hey Mike,

The weather won't be all that bad. It might be wet and risky to raise an 
antenna this afternoon amid strong thunderstorms, but we do need a little 
excitement. <g>  Saturday and most of Sunday look dry for the most part, 
with just a small chance of a pop-up thunderstorm each afternoon.

Regarding freeholder approvals ... will we be tresspassing or in 
some other legal trouble without it?
