<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am not an expert on these things. The proposal
sounds reasonable. One ham who might be more knowledgeable about this is Chuck,
W4CLL. I invited him to breakfast this coming Tuesday, and he plans to attend. I
think he would make a good speaker at one of the club meetings. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We had a d-star presentation some time back, and
according that that presenter, digital was the future for several reasons
including narrow bandwidth and exceptional voice quality. Of course with
digital, you only get two choices, outstanding or nothing. :-) Bring the subject
up Tuesday. Don Jeerings might be a good go between for you. </FONT></DIV>
