RICHARD A. D ANGELO - We had a good time at Gifford Pinchot despite not
being in our familiar cabin #10.  We had to settle for a smaller cabin. 
I was joined by Fred Kohlbrenner, George Zeller and Kris Field. The
weather was awful when we arrived with the remains of a "nor'easter"
trenching the grounds making antenna work a wet experience.   Conditions
were awful the first day but (thankfully) they did improve.  This was
the last Dxpedition of the season.  That's it from Wyomissing!  73 - RAD
