Moreover, I would like to acknowledge the efforts of TFMCS. Without mentioning names specifically (because I might omit someone), it needs to be said that a mere handful of extremely dedicated people are performing gargantuan feats to keep alive the "first and foremost" FM repeater system in Canada. By gargantuan feats, I mean major sacrifices of family and personal time, as wel as some personal expense, to maintain and improve the repeater system. I would like to encourage Radio Amateurs in the GTA or anywhere in Central Ontario to consider joining TFMCS. $25.00 per year is a very small price to pay to help sustain a repeater system that offers IRLP, D-Star, and even access to 6m and 10m! Last but not least, there is my personal favourite, a 220 MHz repeater with an AWESOME coverage area. Try it, you'll like it! In the past few years, membership support has dwindled dramatically. This has not stopped the heroic TFMCS executive from marching onward to keep the dream alive. Please help if you are able. 73 and see you on one of the TFMCS repeaters (preferably 224.860 MHz). :) Joe, VE3LNU Hi Peter,
