Hello John.  I hadn't been on the FM sats in a very
long time but picked last night to jump on after
hearing about the second repeater.  It was a very
orderly group totally devoid of the chaos I had
remembered from years past.  It was a totally
enjoyable experience.  I got my 2 Q's and let other
have at it.  I later heard KC8RAN, KC2LRC, W4HIJ and
KB2HSH.  My thanks to Jay AA4FL and Drew KO4MA for my
contacts.  The 2nd repeater worked very well indeed.
