I think we’re just down to Sheering left which had 3 cameras attention today and got me a lot of messages… Lol. Oh, also a couple of copters on their way to FKU noticed and reported it. I can’t hear any radio traffic for it and there’s been no acreage updates. I don’t know how to program either one of my scanners unfortunately. Just haven’t been able to figure it out with the two I have now even though I’ve done others in the past. If I remember I’ll email Ben in the morning.
