[FADCA] Gainesville Update

[Neil Lauritsen]

Hi Philip,

Thanks for the information on the Gainesville site . As far as I know we are 
all doing well and I agree about getting fresh young blood into the hobby 
especially the digital end of things. Those of you in the West Central FL 
Section will receive a visit  by the SM, Dee Turner and myself as long as 
you have registered your FD Site on the ARRL web page. looking forward to 
seeing you on FD.

73,

Neil
