Tom has been very generous in acknowledging the efforts of others.  I
would like to take this chance to point out that Tom has been the
driving force is this project and while many people have helped, with
out his efforts it is unlikely this node would have gotten installed

This site is especially important in that it is by far the most complex
site PTP has done to date, with two soekris boxes and three radios. 
This has provided myself an others invaluable experience, such as a rude
reminder, that more gain does not necessarily equal better coverage.

Major Congratulations should go to Tom for his efforts in successfully
bringing this site on line..
