  Hi...anyone that has visited the CHM web page knows that although
it's very sharp looking, in comparison to other scanner-based clubs
that have their own web page, the info there is...well...sparse to
say the least.  Check out http://henney.com/chm/ if you've never
seen it.

  That's going to change.

  I've been emailing Alan Henney about some ideas on expanding the
CHM to include a great many new links, the gathering of which
-at least for some of them-has never been attempted to my
knowledge.  He's been supportive, and I've gathered several 
ideas together.  We may not implement all of them at once, and
this will take some time to flesh out all the details.

  Some of the possible links include:
a. FAQs on the various models of scanners;
b. Yahoo groups that cover various scanners, arranged by 
   manufacturer;
c. Scanner reviews 
d. URLs of pages that are devoted to just 1 model (or range
   of models), such as the AR3000A page;
e. Pages for frequencies
f. Ham clubs and organizations 

  Those last two are where I need help.  While I know about clubs,
for example, in the Central Md.area, I am not familiar with 
clubs in Delaware, DC or Northern Va.  In the same vein, I have
already gathered central Md.specific pages, but I have nothing
for Western Md., Va and so on.  In fact, I much prefer to have
too much info to organize than not enough.  URLs in the other
categories are of course also more than welcome.
  That's where you come in.  I need URLs of pages that have to
do with frequencies, clubs and so on in the CHM coverage area.
I think we can build that page so that newcomers and experts
alike can use it as a reference point.
  To help me isolate this from the rest of the email I get, it 
would be helpful if you would put 'URL project' somewhere in 
the subject line.  I can query that with Eudora very easily.
  If there are other subjects- with suggested URLs, please-that
you'd like to see, let me know that too.  Again, this will take
a good deal of time to implement, and we may not use everything
right away- but it will all be considered.
