[aprssig] HAMFEST objects on APRS!

Fri Jul 11 19:05:59 EDT 2008

My wife and I are planning a two or three week tour of  Southern Ontario 
with no particular destination in mind.  I would love to be able to scan my 
D710 for  HFEST objects!   Come on Southern Ontario....get them HFEST 
objects on the system...what a cheap way to advertise!
