[K3PZN-List] Fwd: Cycle Across Maryland 2003 - Request to use the Repeater

[Curt Milton]

Andy, 

thanks for looking out after the club and alerting
everyone - much appreciated!  

the matter is in good hands - Steve, Bill etc. can
take care of technical and admin details - in this
case they have not asked to take over the machine as a
net but to use it for priority traffic.  (if they had
a serious situation due to weather/accident etc. we
would certainly allow them to do what is necessary!)
