[Bruce Junkin]

BTW, I am not here just to light up this grid.  I am here working.  I was 
escorting a contractor that is installing antennas and waveguide and related 
equipment at one of our microwave sites in the area.  I have to let them 
into the building and inspect what has been done.  Had I been here to light 
up this grid, I would have brought my larger antennas.  I still have to get 
back up on the hilltop today, even though there was a bunch of snow last 
night.  There is supposed to be more snow today.  I may have to chain up  to 
get up the hill.  Operating time depends on how long and whether or not I 
can even get up the hill.

I do have a KB6KQ loop for 2M on my vehicle, and a 6M Larsen whip, but don't 
know if I will have any time to get on.  I don't know yet if I will be able 
to set up any other antennas.  Best 73's.

Bruce, KI7JA
