[SMCARA] FW: [W4VA FARA] VOACAP Online

[F. Veitch]

Received this from Martin Berkofsky this AM.  For those of you who don’t
know, Martin is the owner of the Land Rover with all of the VHF/UHF antennas
on it who was down here last year for one of the meetings and a talk on the
vehicle.  Martin is currently undergoing cancer treatment in Tulsa for
esophageal cancer.  His spirits seem to be staying highand it looks like he
is getting a chance to relax a bit, although it is not the kind of
relaxation anyone would want.

I have used the mentioned program professionally in the past, it is fairly
useful, and the new interface should make it much simpler to use.

Best regards 
Fletch
