[FADCA] Snips from HamCation 2010

[Neil Lauritsen]

Hi Bud,

Unfortunately I had conflicting Forums so I missed the NFL WL2K Forum where 
you made your presentation. I wandered all over the
RV parking area looking for the BOD meeting but never found it.
 I mentioned to the FRC that You had developed a much more
realistic database and that I would be using it as the basis for the 
FADCA/FRC Digital database (excluding the D-Star and P-25
Coordination's).
Could you send me a copy of what you presented at the forum SO I can move 
forward with my work. Much appreciated.

Thanks.

73,
Neil
