[Tom Sneden]

And along those lines, the San Diego Six Shooters (W6F) will be at West
Sycamore Canyon at the end of Stonebridge Parkway just south of Poway with
mono-banders on everything except 80 and 160.
Everyone is welcome. Weather is predicted to be in the mid 80's
More info at http://sdsixshooters.org/ or contact me directly.
