[FADCA] LAN and BBS in Ft. Myers/Lee County

Wed, 11 Feb 2004 15:26:26 -0500

Hi Tom...

Is there any chance you will be at the Orlando Hamfest?  John (WB4MOZ) 
and I will be selling from John's 5th Wheel Trailer in the outdoor
swap area.  We would love to have you stop by and chat.  The LaBelle 
site is currently just a Digi (W9VDS-8).  It was installed in the spring
of 2003 by the Palm Beach Packet Group (PBPG) a few miles east and south 
of Labelle and shares the LaBelle repeater tower.  The purpose
was to allow Lake Harbor to link to the W4LX system for the convenience 
of keyboarders and forwarding of BBS traffic.  Bob was sent EMail
 on the subject but their were no responses.  And, as John (WB4MOZ) said 
"the 441 port of W4LX is not usable to to the excessive 60/120 hz
 ripple on the siignal".  The PBPG will work with you any way we can to 
bring the Ft Myers SWITCH online.
