[ao16aprs] Re: 1200 baud Birds

[Doug Bade <doug@clecom.com>]

	Hello Bob and sig. I own a complete leo sat tracking station,  beams,
rotor, Yaesu ft736 2m/440/6m/220 and KC tuner/tracker which I would gladly
donate to the permanent tracking job. Scheduling control is easy these
days. The problem is I lost my Yard where I could run this station. It is
currently in storage. I am trying to locate a site to reconstruct it here
in Cleveland Ohio area, but my current house and my upcoming new house it
is not an option. Connectivity is a problem at all the remote sites I have
that are available. If someone has some pull here in this area at some
place we can build and get connectivity I am willing to cooperate...
	
	Any Idea's ?????????????
