Hi Bud and the rest

I just went to try and get on Bucks sedan web site and I still can't find 
it. When you put in www.sedan.org you are just dumped onto Bucks web site. 
I'm in the node area now and also doing a search on google to try and find 
it. I guess I'll also try .com and see what that does. From what I 
remember, Buck was running hit network using a 9k6 backbone on 440. I can't 
figure why someone would build a flat network when Buck already is 
using.  This doesn't make Buck look that good in Florida when what he has 
been pushing  for all these years won't work!!!   I guess I'll leave it at 
that.

73, Bill
