[WIham] 146.430 FM simplex net 8pm tonight

[David Hodgins]

Hi Todd,
I am just getting my Comet GP-15 (Omni) up today, and would like to try to
make it.  I sometimes make Marinette 70 Miles North of me, very weakly, but
maybe I will have a better shot towards you.  I am running a Kenwood 790A
Tri-Bander @ 40 watts, roof mount....we will see what the attempt brings.
