Does UVSQ need a PL? Please don't tell me to go look it up....I've tried and wouldn't ask if I hadn't.

Cancelling EM88 on PO101 for today....still too cold and definitely too muddy
I have it on good authority that WV will be coming on the air on FM and other modes....stay tuned.

Any interest in WV on a working FM bird this evening or in the morning? I think I could've gotten in on PO-101 if I had the rigs programmed correctly....ARGH!! Now have me going up on UHF and listening on VHF which should be more amenable to a QSO or two hi hi
