Yes we keep the Florida interest stuff on FADCA unless it is something that
would impact the FPAC network, and we keep the technical stuff on FPAC,
that way for one, it will be archived for reference, and also when questions
do come up there are people in other parts of the world who have been
running this stuff that will step in and give a hand. As you well know, I prefer
that we have our techincal stuff on the FPAC list so that it is easy to go back
to and also if it is a problem that someone else has seen they will jump in
and tell us so. It also gives life to the list and Bernard is watching
for things
that are problems or unknown uses or commands that need to be published
so he can put them in the documentation that he is doing.

FADCA handles the general stuff such as hamfest, local politics, and state
wide activities, we need to keep it and indeed we need to see more stuff on
there.

FPAC is the technical side for the care and feeding of FPAC boxes, perhaps
if we had more activity on there we would see more input and perhaps even
more people putting these devices on the air in other places.
