[FARC] Has anyone noticed the FARC hamfest on APRS

[Bob Moroney]

Thanks, Anthony.  It all makes sense now.  And it's good to know that 
W3VLG is not holed up in his vehicle at the Fairgrounds, updating his 
position every so often.  :-)

Anyway, when I emailed W3VLG to ask him about it, I did mention that the 
additional publicity for the Hamfest is appreciated.  He's definitely 
put us on the map, so to speak.
