" Yes - it’s Chuck’s list though occasionally the members donate money for the cost of hosting it." Hows that stand right now BTW? are the coffers still overflowing?

The list was Part-15 at one time, and existed prior to WISPA. Can’t recall the last name - Michael somebody ran the organization. One day Michael was mad about something and posted the infamous “I quit” email - and that was pretty much the end of Part 15 and the list. I actually think that was during a Animal Farm session if I recall correctly. Chuck took over the list after that - I don’t think it was called AFMUG at the time, but it later became that. Might have even been Motorola specific - not that it was ever on topic anyway. There are WISPA lists - but the AFMUG list has lived on. Yes - it’s Chuck’s list though occasionally the members donate money for the cost of hosting it. This list has it’s advantages. It’s membership leans toward a group of people who have known each other for a very long time. You probably shouldn’t say bad things about WBMfg products (makes Chuck get all kranky) but everybody else if fair game. I like it since it’s a place I can say things I can’t really say with a WISPA hat on (or at least I can’t say without blowback to WISPA).
