a bulletin to FAMILY@WW on your bbs. Title the message something
like "(your call): Tiny Tafel" or just "Tiny Tafel".
Feel free to send other questions or queries to FAMILY@WW as well.
If we can get some participation, this could well turn out to
be an excellent resource and adjunct to our already enjoyable
radio hobby.
I'm always open to comments and questions, but I would
appreciate more messages sent to the Ham/Genealogist
community at large using FAMILY@WW so others can learn
from all our questions, problems and successes!
Happy New Year!
