OK, then you should (qualifying word) find open spectrum, look at the freqs
that Russ listed and see which sets will work for you, and then notify us if
you plan to use any of them, if you filled out coordination forms, we
will locate
Neil and find out what happened, I also asked for coordination on 144.99 for
APRS remote sensing devices (WX, water, fire ect) I got a note from Russ,
but a bound from Niel, his e-mail maybe giving him problems and he does
not realize it.

REST OF LIST,
Can any of you try to contact Niel, I get a bounce or a mail hold on both
his
e-mail addresses.

out and having to identify your bits and pieces in the midst of torn
and twisted metal."
