[Noisebridge-discuss] What use for the 440 Mhz Repeater? Hilaire swap for FM licensed broadcast xmtr?

[Norman Bradley]

The possibility of a license is hanging by a tread. I still have not 
heard back from the board or officers. I can't file until I know the 
answers to the questions I posted. I need to have a week to file because 
I won't be able to get the other information otherwise.
