Great job! Wish I had been there. Having a few problems with my rig at the moment, but hope to get on the air soon. I did get set up at a high point at Libby Flats on at Snowy Range Wyo. Cold and lots of wind. Now in Rawlins, Wyo, my home town. Set up in the RV park, still cold and lots of wind. That's when I had the rig problem.
Again, great job that you and your team did. 73 Mike Teers KG5 SXG Sent from my Verizon Motorola Smartphone On Jun 23, 2019 11:59 AM, Mike Hardwick via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: > > The end is only a few minutes away.
