Except that there aren't more than 5 or 6 railroad channels used in the
whole area anyway... and there are only about 60 railroad channels total
in the US.

Yes, there will be a booth at the hamfest (see http://trilug.org/ ).  We
will be distributing Linux CDs, demonstrating a Linux computer,
answering questions, etc.

To re-ask a question I asked before some of you were joined:  what ham
radio programs are available for Linux that we could put on a CD to give
out?  I think this would be a nice 'value-add' that wouldn't be too hard
to do, if there are any such programs.
