I am looking for someone that can take copy of web links/info
mentioned during the net
to be posted somewhere afterwards and a back-up net control to
standby. Please contact by reply to this msg.
Please forward/distribute this email to interested party's !
Plans to have a follow-up net/round-table next month in July are in the works.
Any last minute/after net info will be posted at www.29999.link
If you are intending to use DMR, you will need a DMR ID. Current confusion on this and a low availibility of numbers to issue seem to be a problem we 'may' address during the net.
