The Weather is turning sour here in the Mid Atlantic area.  WE have 3-4
inches on the ground this morning.  It looks like it will be slow going.
Skyline Drive usually closes when they get as little as 2 inches of
snow.

Therefore, the schedule below is out the window.  We are still planning
to make it as far as Roanoke, VA by Saturday night.  If we have to we
will follow rt 81 to Roanoke and stop at rest stops for fixed operation.
Perhaps we can overcome the loss of altitude by running a lot of CW??

So, forget the schedule and look for us to be on. I will try to remember
to announce what grid square we are in often.

73 and GL to all,

Jim K3LFO and Dave KA3TNY 
K3LFO ROVER
