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

Wed, 11 Feb 2004 19:57:31 -0500

HI,

SORRY THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO ORLANDO.
I WILL TRY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU SOON.
THERE IS A PLAN TO TRY TO REDO THE CABLES (READ, VERY OLD) AT THE EOC. 
THEY ARE ORIGINALS AS FAR AS I KNOW.  THE AUDIO CABLES ARE VERY LONG AND
OLD, A GREAT COMBINATION FOR TROUBLE.  I HOPE THAT WE DO NOT HAVE TO
REPLACE THEM.
I HAVE LOOKED AT SEVERAL PLANS FOR ALTERING THE SYSTEM TO TRY TO IMPROVE
IT.   

HAVE TO GO DO BUSY STUFF.

73,
TOM, KF4UTH
