Hey Texan Fox Hunters,

It appears our pilot test of the new digital CFF(California Fox Filter)
reflector umbrella (U1.V101a) really worked on that pesky Arionza group
the other night. Not a single signal got through to N6WG. We may have
been a bit sloppy in the installation and caused a minor rip or terror
in the reflector as a "gusher" of 4 Oklahoma hunters accidentally
slipped through. I think changing the reflector angles several degrees
to the north may solve that problem.

I suggest we implement phase two and set it up on the California borders
for tonight's fox. Only five foxes to go and the score is just a little
too close to let the propagation gods dictate the outcome. I predict
with the reflector elements properly aligned that this could be the
first ZERO night for the California hunters. I'm not sure the reflector
is robust enough to cause propagational scatter to interfere with both
the Arizona and Oklahoma hunters, but we can refine the technical
details after a thorough analysis of tonight's results. I see huge Texas
scores for the final five.

See you on the band. Texans unite at the Fox frequency tonight!!!!
