I had hoped to share this info on the Anzo-Europe net yesterday but could
not copy anyone.
I am designing a new beam antenna that I hope will improve reception and
transmission.
With the new year I need to have any changes to the roster as I
start the preparation of The Directory for 2006-07.
Seasons greetings to all the ROAR family worldwide.
