Description: | ===============================================================
Notes:
The Mesonet Technicians have begun Summer Pass 2000. All
sites will be visited between July 15 and September 30.
In addition to the routine maintenance that will be performed
at each site, many new site photos (including updated panoramic
photos) will be taken.
Lightning, lightning, lightning...
"The July Victims":
(1) Fairview
(2) Seiling
(3) Grandfield
(4) Medford base
(5) Blackwell base
(6) Kiowa Repeater (twice)
