[MVMA] Opportunity for Big network test coming!

[Chuck Gelm]

Fellow AREDN tunnel neighbors.
Please consider upgrading to Nightly Build 571 (or current if newer) 
before October 30.
I plan on enabling my tunnel to Southern California (SoCal) which has 
about 600 nodes
late in the evening of October 30.


Thanks,
Chuck
