Belmont & Overnight bulletin forwarding

26 January 2010. Overnight forwarding has been disrupted by a fault at Belmont National System hub over the last three nights.

Thanks in particular to Trustee Peter Cobb ZL3TC, for attending the Belmont site today and affecting repairs, and Paul ZL2BEZ, Wellington VHF Group BBS Trustee.
