[OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap and Amateur Radio / Ham

[David Murn]

Just out of interest, what does this email have to do with OSM?  Other
than a link to an OSM map showing the location of this group, I see no
other part of this email with any relevance to OSM, or even mapping of
any sort.  Was there meant to be more to this post?  Is this group
hosting mapping parties or starting their own fork, or are they just a
group of historic amateur radio people in Canada looking for a little
advertising?  Was this an example showing how historic groups can move
around, to tie in with the historic OSM conversation?
