[SBE] SBE Net, Reflector availabilty]

[k7cr]

When you are using the term 'Reflector' I assume that this is a conventional 
email Remailer or List-Server?

How would this be different than the existing email Remailer that SBE has 
for its members?

Please respond ASAP!

Jack and Paul,

   I have some good news. The two men behind the Great Lakes Reflector
have allocated reflector # 9615 for full time use for the SBE to use for
a broadcast engineering meeting ground. Basically, they turned that
number over to me, and I would like to offer it to you two, who had the
original idea for the twice a month on the air SBE meeting. This port
will be available for 24/7 use.

   I simply would suggest that people dial it up to see who else is on.
As I said in the earlier email, most of the time it will be to talk
shop. But, when Katrina or 9/11 hits, or when a town gets wiped out by a
tornado, we can use it to coordinate moving needed broadcast equipment in.

  I am reserving use of this reflector for a once a week net meeting
for the PROPNET folks (www.propnet.org) This is a group that I am
involved with that is placing PSK-31 beacons on the air for automated
band opening reports. I do not have a day of the week and time for that
yet.

   There may be times when there may be days without activity on the
reflector. At the same time, I would really like to give this expanded
idea of yours a shot.

   Please understand my place. You two came up with the IRLP SBE link
idea, and publicized it. I am simply offering the bandwidth of a
dedicated reflector, for use, as you two desire. I have no desire to
take over or modify what path you two are going down. One positive
aspect of this reflector is that the node is physically located in a
hardened site in West Michigan, away from California earthquakes and
Gulf States hurricanes.

   Let me know what you think
