[CTSARA] Urban Hilltopping

[Jonathan Solomon]

Frank-
I'm not sure what Empire security might think about hams and HT's in  
public areas of ESB, but yes, there are quite a few AM/FM/TV  
transmitters, among many other RF devices! I do believe the ABC/Disney  
engineering ham club has a repeater on there as well.

Matt-
I agree 100%.  I got my General ticket this past summer, and haven't  
done squat with it. Mostly because of moving and everything else.  Oh,  
and I don't have an HF rig. But I want to...

On the other hand, I"m not really sure what hilltopping is...  Who  
wants to give the quick explanation.

Finally, it's great to see the mailing list being used. Much like the  
repeater, I was beginning to think it was only for "official" club  
business!!  I am pleased to see the free exchange of ideas and timely  
postings.

Just my $0.02.
