[10gigs] [10GHz-Up] [Mw] Yesterdays10 GHz RS Activity From EN70

[Gedas]

Hi Tony, that is awesome that you and Al were able to find a cell and 
work that distance. That is way too cool. We all hope you have a lot of 
fun and are able to work a ton of grids. Stay safe and will be looking 
for you on the way back home. I am normally up till 2-3 AM so do not 
hesitate to call if you think you are in range. Oh, I updated my 10 GHz 
map on QRZ.com.....TU again ! 73

Oh, Ev was wondering what power level you were running and what your 
best guess is for the gain of the slot & horn antennas?

This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
