Somehow, Bernie's computer got into a foul mood earlier today
when he tried to download the info on the W5LFL schedule. After
a half-hour's work with my word processor, the following should
represent a fairly accurate transcription of what he tried to
post. Since the original was so badly garbled, I am taking the
liberty of purging it from the AMSAT BB.
Bernie: pse qsl that nothing got lost.
