Goodman reported on Motorola seminar in Lowell on Wednesday and
Thursday.  One of results is we have turn off all transmitters on Mt.
Grace and put them into listening mode for interference.  If
interference is found on some channels then access points can be
reconfigured. We will notify subscribers by email before the shutdown.

June service ($50) to be mailed in hard copy. Assuming Reck gets
database set up by the end of June, she will send bills electronically
from now on.
