[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Digital Mode Session for 4/28 is Cancelled

[Edward Bradshaw]

I'm sorry to hear this. Was I supposed to sign up or respond in another email to indicate I was going to attend?  I had it on my calendar.  

I think as long as we have commitment from 3 others for the 20m digital station on FD, we'll have plenty.
