[SBE] SBE Net, Reflector availabilty]

[Tom Bosscher]

Chris is right Clay. A "Reflector" in todays technology can 
mean so many things. We have dedicated server space at a 
location here in West Michigan (no earthquakes, no 
hurricanes, no mud slides!), that the "owners" have 
basically given me slot 9615.

	It is my thought that this would become a full time 
broadcast engineering reflector/conference room. On your 
drive home from work, or on the way to that mountain top tx 
repair, all of us engineering types can talk shop. I do not 
expect a lot of activity for a while. But we have to walk 
before we can crawl. I myself have an IRLP  node running out 
of my house.

	One possible additional use for the reflector 9615 is in 
times of various disasters, like Katrina, or even a town 
that got wiped out by a tornado, is that the engineers could 
use the IRLP system to call for help and equipment. In times 
like those, using ham radio to facilitate who has what 
equipment and where are they, is very proper and legal.
