If you haven't seen this one, it's worth a look. Not the most accurate article ever written, but not bad info about Amateur Radio. 73, Bob -- W6RGG http://www.washtimes.com/metro/20040728-094846-6341r.htm

I agree with you about a program using clubs' and ARES groups' existing vans, Coy. In fact, I made that comment to Mary Hobart earlier today.

However, in my division a lot of clubs have vans similar to this that they use for emergencies. With a little urging, I would bet we could put something together, nearly as neat, with volunteer help, that could fill both rolls. I just think it is a neat idea which would feed the Big Project.

Thanks to the two Jims for their favorable comments. The Web page is up and running, as is the emailbox bandwidth(a)arrl.org. However, the beauty of the Web is that if you spot something that needs to be fixed, we can fix it. Dave K1ZZ

To put this in perspective, I believe ICOM's Funmobile, circa 1999, had an annual operating budget of about $250,000.
