Rebecca
Not a problem, Yes This is the Kingston Ontario Amateur Radio Club
Couldn't tell where you were from with the email, we get lots of request 
fromn across Cnada/US/world for info.

That you're in Kingston is great, Its a bit easier for you to get some 
information,
I will post this on our Club's email list and hopefully one of our sailing 
Amateurs will email you.

If not, drop by for Breakfast Saturdays around 8am at Smitty's in the back 
room and tell the gang there what you're looking for, there is normally one 
or two sailors around


Cheers
Chip, VA3KGB

Hello again,
I guess I thought I was emailing someone from the Kingston Amateur Radio
club (we are from Kingston). Am I wrong? I have tried 2 other email
addresses that I found on the Kingston Amateur Radio club site and they were
both returned undelivered. I'm not sure who to contact.

Rebecca
