Lloyd:
Please excuse the forward, but when I reply to the list, your personal
e-mail address comes up, so I'm doing a little work-around here.
Anyway, thanks for the net report. And, thanks to you and Gary for holding
down the fort as best as you could.
I am glad the net happened, despite the confusing situation with the emerg
frequencies. ... Hopefully, things will settle down by next Sunday.
73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ
