[WARC] Field Day 2008 - Winona Amateur Radio Club

[James Jefferson Jarvis]

Hi Len and field day participants,

I have a 20 amp linear Astron and a 20 amp switching power supply available. 
Just stop by my office and you can pick them up. Open this week from 8AM to 
4:15PM. Next week from 8AM to late evening.

Let me know ASAP if you want them this. I'm headed out of town and will need 
to get them set out for you.

-Jim
