[Scan-DC] Anyone Railfan?

[ka3jjz at netscape.com]

This is directed not just at Doug but any of the other Railfanners out there - the RR wiki is available to host page(s) devoted to this topic. If you have any questions about how to go about setting this up or how
to use the various extensions to pull data onto a wiki page, please contact me directly at ka3jjz at netscape.com

Although I don't have any experience in this as yet, we also have an API that uses Javascript to pull data onto a website. Links for that are also available on the RadioReference wiki

Thanks Mike, I thought there was a system for that but wasn't sure how it worked!

I did see some stuff on RadioReference but I remember it being a bit difficult to get at... if anyone has any thoughts about a good way to organize that type of data, maybe we could do so and get it to them. They are excellent, as most of you know, but everything is arranged geographically, and for stuff like railroading, milair, and fed government, I'm not sure that's the best way to present it!
