Hank,

There is a hotbed of packet activity in Birmingham Alabama, led by
Jim Grifith, WA5RAX.  I thinkWA4YCM might find it fruitful to
contact Jim, Jim is the head of the Navy Marine Corps MARS Hi Tech
program, and the local VHF MARS network in Birmingham is packet.
This is used as a gateway switch for the long haul MARS traffic
that uses Birmingham as a hub.
