Re: [IRCA] A very good morning for TPs

Hi Don-

I am sure you know where Treasure Island is? Were you in SF in 1965? I spent
the greater portion of 1965 on that island.

How do you have any room for any type of antenna being located where you
are?
If memory serves me correctly, there isn't much space, if any, around those
house's
for an outside antenna.

Are you near the Presidio and the on ramp for the golden gate bride?

73's
