As for Sunday, I am open. I have a 2 Watt transverter with a 16" offset dish. Liaison will be on 2m ( 144.220Mhz or others ) cell or text.

W7GLF - Ray

Since I-405 will be closed between Bellevue and Renton I plan to operate from up here off the Olympics and Willows Creek Golf course for Rainier. I could join Fred and Nick but then they would not be able to work me for points. We need to plan some times. I will work the Olympics from the end of my driveway. If someone wanted to work Pilchuck I believe I can get to it from my front yard.
