Tom,
While I have done very little 160 this season, I do hope to get on this
weekend. Not a big time effort, but I should be on both Friday and
Saturday nights. Maybe I can roll out of bed early Saturday or Sunday
morning as well. Sometimes you can find something nice on the band
around sunrise.
73, hope to see you, Steve KW3A
