You caught me, Demetre. I did rent an F-16 last weekend and got all the way
to Winlink Planetary Headquarters before realizing that the HARMs Hertz gave
me were tuned to 7.105 GHz instead of 7.105 MHz as requested. So I buzzed
the tower and flew home to beat the commuter congestion at Hanscom.
What's your grid square?
