<div dir="auto"> I will make time to "come back into the fold" but I need much help. My skills are nowhere close to most in this email. I have become a "turn-key" type of guy, meaning if someone builds it and tells me what to buy, I will do so and put Jefferson in the loop. I know that is not the right answer, but if it gets us. . both the bigger us meaning those in the group, and us as in Jefferson County, then I am open. <br><br></div>

<pre class="blue">Here is the scenario for this year's winter projects. We need people in<br>each of the various areas of the state to concentrate on the following:<br><br>WNY - develop links and bbs computers from Chautauqua up to Buffalo and<br> then east to Wayne and Broome<br><br>CNY - develop links to WNY, lower tier (Broome) and north to Jefferson<br><br>Capitol - strengthen reach in all four directions<br><br>Hudson Valley - need help on both sides of the Hudson to supplement and<br> replace coverage from Putnam and Westchester<br><br>LI - build out links from Suffolk and Nassau to Westchester and NYC<br><br>NYC - build out reach into LI, NJ, Westchester and Rockland/Orange<br><br>We have 62 counties across the state and need to eventually service the<br>various EOCs and NGOs in those counties. Even if you are not ready for<br>RF links, at least set up the bbs and link across the internet using<br>44Net. Experiment there with no downside of making mistakes vs RF.<br>When you are ready, then add the RF directional links. We all have a<br>stake in making sure that NY State has the messaging capabilities to<br>support our counties, while at the same time providing a training ground<br>for our local ham clubs and members. There are plenty on this list that<br>can help with their expertise, provide working examples of bbs software<br>configuration and their experience on RF infrastructure. All you have<br>to do is ask.<br></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
