[MLB-WIRELESS] ...Sydney Wireless?

[Dean Collins]

Hi Guys,
I think you will find Duane still subscribes to this list (though I
think he may be spending more of his time overseas these days). 

I still subscribe to both lists however Melbourne always has more
traffic.

You are right about people not necessarily being where the nodedb says
they are.... I'm now living in NY.

Either way subscribe to the list at www.sydneywireless.com and see what
you get replied.


Regards,
