Hi Frank:
I noted the Zola Group's radio situation as well, and feel your idea is
worth a shot. If you will be at the next Wellesley meeting, you can bring
this up and we can discuss the idea.
I have been emailing the US sales manager of Yaesu about a repeater. I
could reach out to him. A friend may know the sales manager for Icom.

Hi all, thanks to Dan, w1dan for providing this information from Bob
Finney. I forward here to point out an observation. If you read through it
you can see that they were able to obtain “factory sponsorship”, so to
speak, from Icom. That got me thinking … Since we (as the Zola group) are a
very unique group due to the bulk of our membership and activities we might
be able to court the attention of one or more of the Amateur radio
equipment producers. This can be very beneficial for two reasons:
- It may result in some resources for our group
- It would expose the equipment manufactures to the fact that we are,
as disabled hams, a real market segment and get a dialog started on
accessibility.
Is there any person or persons who have the time (preferably someone
retired) and good writing skills to reach out to manufactures and vendors
to get the conversation started?

Folks:
Bob K5TEC is busy doing Field Day at NE SCI Tech. He notes:
"We are offering a full 24-hour FD here at NEST. Link to NE Sci-Tech
Field Day and schedule:
https://www.nescitech.org/arrl-field-day/arrl-field-day-2019/
Everyone at the Needham FD are welcome to come join us any time, for HF
work or just to socialize. We are partnered with MIT Lincoln Labs radio
team, and sponsored by ICOM America. ICOM will be bringing several of
their latest rigs that you can see and try out — one IC-9700 VHF/UHF/1.2
GHz transceiver and two IC-7610 HF/50MHz All Mode Transceivers.
We are doing a club/FD photo op at 6pm Saturday, if anyone wants to join
us.
Best regards,
Bob

Maybe we can work them, or steal their food???
This summer I hope some of us can offer to help them out. Sounds like fun
there.
