It's looking like December 5-6-7 are the best dates for me.

I'm happy to go whichever location serves the community best, and I will be bringing a STAR/DAS unit as well.

Nice run, Curt can get you more power. I would start with some filters and a TB from VRP. Let me know the next time you plan to go to FMS, I'll meet you there.
