Re: [IRCA] PART 15 QUESTION

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pete,

I'm not hearing anything on 1700 during the day, but I don't really 
have an antenna that points at Tacoma right now. In a couple of 
weeks, I'll have the Wellbrook Array back up and can point it right 
at Tacoma.... will letcha know.
