[DX] 160 1834

[Alan Sewell]

We definitely need to get WA0ZHH to a meeting.  I've seen that name in 
the FCC database but didn't know he really lived here.  Sounds like his 
setup would be an interesting program.

If you call Monday you can still get in on the used Orion sale at Ten 
Tec and have a tuner and roofing filter!
