Final Call: The Launch is a GO!
The current forecast for Saturday is looking even better, with a higher ceiling.  The winds still may be gusty, but we should be able to make the best of it.
There is still a small amount of rain that may pop up in the next few hours, but everything should dry out nicely for us!

Let's try and use FRS / GMRS Channel 4 for all club radio transmissions.
