And just how do you plan on meeting the control operator requirements
for that?  Or are you following the telecommand rules?  (GRIN)

BARC's a great group!  Say Hi to Rip and Ellie for me!  There are two
Boulderites near and dear to my heart, even if I don't tell them often
enough.  Their BARC Jr. project to involve kids in Boulder with Ham
Radio is top-notch and recognized as such by Hams nationwide.

I offered to do a presentation on the Internet Radio Linking Project for
them anytime, but I think they're already beyond that stage and building
a node and a UHF repeater to host it on... from rumors I've heard.  I've
built or worked on about 50 nodes now, so if they need help after they
get the machine on the Net, let me know!
