NEW BUSINESS

Any interest in a 10M net, especially for Techs

John has an antenna that needs to get put up

It’s been suggested to create Op/Logger teams for Field Day next year

Elmer’s stuff at Margaritaville and the Roof at Home need to be removed and disseminated. Get together during the Labor Day Holiday to finish this? The 1st of September, priority being the Roof at 10AM
