As we approach the end of 2016 I know a number of us are looking forward to 2017 and activation of our St Pete site. However there is a very real need for funding of the FSG, and while we typically bear the cost ourselves that's not healthy for FSG. If you itemize or deduct at the end of the year donations to FSG are tax deductible charitable gifts. With the year end approaching your time to take advantage of this for 2016 taxes will soon be over. We are setup for PayPal, paypal@flscg.org and we can take other forms as well. Any amount helps and PayPal makes it easy to setup a recurring donation if you're able. The Tech Committee (Ryan, Matt, and myself) will be over installing the backbone and data radios in St Pete tomorrow, if all goes well we may be online by the end of the day. There's still lots to do but all depends on this backbone link to Tampa. Happy holidays and 73's -- Bryan Fields, W9CR Florida Simulcast Group, Inc.
