[HCARC] K5HR Key-ups with Packet Burst

[Mack WB2PCV]

John:

It looks like nobody else has answered you, so I thought I would take a 
stab at it.

The club digi-gurus have reconfigured the club's Winlink node to share 
frequencies with the repeater.  I can't speak for them, but I think the 
idea was to 1. make the Winlink node easily accessible for use, esp 
during Emcomm ops, 2. to increase Winlink traffic (and awareness), and 
3. to free up a radio to enable N5HR to implement an APRS beacon (again, 
with the thought of Emcomm abilities.)

It sounded like a really good idea whenever W0LPD mentioned it to me!  I 
know that frustrating or annoying folks had not been a part of the plan.

Hope this helps --
