FW: [ICOM] Mods Site

[Adam Farson]

Found this on a German ham newsgroup (translation follows):

"Eric Hansen, the site owner of www.mods.dk, wishes to advise that he is
currently having problems with his provider. However, he will do his best to
get the site back on-line, or to change providers if need be. Please check
the site again in a couple of days."

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

Yeah, ya never know.....

You might just have a point.  To tell you the truth, I haven't found
that much stuff there that I could really use.  Most of that stuff
has been floating around for so long that I've seen most everything.
I remember on the old 1200 baud packet network, it was possible to
request some of the mods and it would be sent via e-mail.

Besides, you we *really* need to know five ways to open up our rigs
to go on all frequencies?

Jeff
