'''Older Discussion:'''
I would like to start an amateur radio night.  I'm thinking Wednesday nights, if there aren't (as yet unpublished) plans for that night.  I hear Elliot's into it, and maybe others.
I'd like to set up a repeater here at the space. --(Celtikill)
I too think HacDC would be a great place for a repeater, an IRLP node, a weather station, and/or a zillion other fun things. P
