Re: FYBO Restitution
Nick,
I am glad you were able to make up for the poor WX. Sounds like you found another good radio location. By all means, we should try to get up there since it is so accesible.

Thanks for the heads up Nick. I joined the group a few minutes ago and look forward to what appears to be Steve's latest and greatest tin can radio. This may be the one I have been looking for to use
