Ray,
	I think it is a great idea. I hadn't really given much thought to a BBS 
service whilst I'm away but it may be handy.
	I am in a group planning a trip to Ayres Rock in July and I will be active on 
30m APRS. I have been doing some testing over the past week or so using an 
old Wagner and you have been gating me in during the day :-)
	Anyway, I may hit you up closer to the event to get a soldier's five on how 
this BBS thingy works.
