[RVRC] Win System Tech net

[drew Moore]

Sounds like a good idea to me and would bring more traffic by our members to
our 440 repeater.

To all,
A thought occurred to me when Drew had mentioned the ''Tech Net'' when Eric 
was around.   Well, in keeping with the desire that Eric had to generate 
more use on 442.250, how about having that ''Tech Net'' on Friday but have 
it on 442.250!  ????  It's only one hour long and It just may be something 
that the network which the 442.250 repeater is linked into would even like 
the idea!! ??
As Craig pointed out, the Gent who runs that 'network' is extremely 
knowledgeable and might even join in with interesting and educating 
information!   Maybe??
Optionally, the link could be disabled for the one hour!

73,
