...   1228  1328  1428

Passes are about 8 minutes long on 145.985.
Please, unless you are using BBS, send UI packets only via R0MIR, and low
power (5w).  NEVER try to connect to someone.  Once you see your UI packet
digipeated, consider it success, and stop sending.

If someone is using BBS, wait till he is finished.

de WB4APR, Bob
