Re: [IRCA] Good time NOT to be DXing
Yes, I heard the Puget Sound has been active with t storms too. A bit unusual. Nothing here as yet, except quite humid and overcast. I hope no one gets hurt. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
