Thanks for the heads up on the Anderson"s Mill event. It looks an interesting weekend for operating radios. Pity I cannot make it that particular weekend, however, I recommend anyone who has the time, to go along and see what's on offer and to take in what is involved in setting up a public amateur radio station. I wish them good weather and plenty of participants.

Cheers.
