Now I'm not even a radio buff but have picked up much info over my years, and I think that we could put on a day-event/gathering where interested folks can bring some money (or pre-arranged materials!!) and come home with a dandy part of our community network : ) PVC, good wire, mounting hardware, tools, uhh - what else do we need? thanx every body! ben PS == if you didn't follow this message at all, I appologize; I've been geeking out! It's wonderful though, and it's all about free (sharing) network access, which is a great way to get people communicating more and more... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "slide" to www.euglug.org in lake'ch, my kin... 4 Ix Finally, I (this text) would be delighted to be included, in whole or in part, in your next discussion of self-reference. With that in mind, please allow me to appologize in advance for infecting you.
