[Fourlanders] Reminder: Next Fourlanders Meeting March 19th

[Jim Worsham]

We have not had our meeting yet but I am fairly certain we will do 
microwaves in June.  I haven't talked to Bob, K4SZ in detail but I am also 
fairly certain we will have extra microwave gear for at least a couple of 
bands.  I will let you know more once we meet and can discuss it more.  One 
big question is going to be 5760 MHz and 10 GHz.  We have not done those 
bands in the last few years.  The question is going to be if there is going 
to be enough activity on those two bands to justify adding them to our 
arsenal.  Any info you can provide on any rovers that will be active on 
those bands would be helpful in making that decision.  Thanks.
