[FARC] MDC Digital Exercise April 25

[Herb Palm]

Jeff.

Clarification please - April 25 is a Sunday, not a Saturday.  I may 
come
to the club station just to see what digital modes are all about.  I
have heard some terms but know nothing as to how they work, etc.

PS.  This e-mail got away from me before I signed it.  Sorry.
