[FADCA] FADCA and HSMM: Important please read ASAP!

[Carl Zelich]

Hi Robert,

Many thanks for your detailed info about the future for FADCA.

And thanks for the opportunity tone directly involved.

However, after a review of my current obligations, which include
QCWA National Director, ARES/RACES and several local
amateur radio clubs plus ARRL Assistant Director for the 
Southeastern Division, I must decline your invitation.

However, I will support your efforts by providing Contact info
and current growth and activity for your growth of the organization.

Thanks again.
73, Carl, AA4MI

They were formed many years ago to coordinate Packet frequencies and networks around the state.  They have since dwindled away to just a few members.
