Long Island Monitoring Association
From Ed (KC2AYC) : The Long Island Monitoring Association went belly up, mainly because the 146.805 repeater has problems for over 2 years now at the antenna site and it killed the net.
The group has now splintered off in to two active e-mail reflectors, ScanCom http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ScanCom and the Uniden-bc780 Users Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Uniden-bc780. We also still hold monthly gatherings on the 3rd Thursday of the month at Fudruckers Restarant on Merrick Avenue in Westbury, Long Island.
