[KLQRP] FD plus reminder of meeting tomorrow

[Don Wilhelm]

Chris,

I was planning to come to the QRPigout tonight, but my cold has not 
cleared sufficiently for me to attend with a 'clear head'.

I will be at Jordan Lake on Saturday.  If I still am not feeling up to 
par, I may only stay until late Saturday, but I WILL be there.

73,
Don W3FPR
