(What a mess was that pass) !!
FYI, it's kind of hard to figure out how to log a contact that was giving a location as "67-68 line".
I understand the concept of brevity, but not everyone is a mind reader
Can someone fill in the grid letters from N7AGF's location, pls ?

After AO-91 I'll leave for DN67/68.
So I would assume he was on the DN67 / DN68 line. BTW, that took a single Google search on his callsign - it was the first listing.

Maybe we can get a list of pager numbers for those who choose not to use technology to be more successful on the birds.

Who says he has to use a method that everyone uses? It's not his responsibility to. If you missed it on Twitter that's your problem...

100% agreed. I've been an involved enthusiast in different hobbies (Classic cars, radio etc) for many years.
Private IT resources are the way to go. It always saddens me when a good group hitches their wagon to a for-profit information resource, because not everyone in the group is willing to be part of the commercial process.
Personally, I don't care to make advertisers rich while enjoying a hobby with my friends.
Remember: If you use an IT resource that is 'free', then _you_ are the Product.
Keep it private.
