ARC250 and Win96 files

[ka3jjz]

Since we're getting close to that time of the year when folks take vacations, and there's been a few messages out on the boards about how to set up files, I thought I might offer the following;
The Capitol Hill Monitors have 2 pages - one for ARC250 files, the other for .p96 files - where you can download them, edit and adjust them to fit your needs. Even if the area isn't exactly the same, you can use
them as 'models' to create your own files. Note that the ARC250 files are in zip format, so you will need an unzip utility to uncompress them before use. The URLs are:

CHM ARC250 file library

CHM .p96 library

While we've gotten a few files, we could always use more, particularly from areas not yet covered (for example, Western Maryland). If you wish to share your files on these pages, please forward them to alan@henney.com
Make sure you note what area(s) they cover and which banks are used.

I have mentioned this before and like to repeat my suggestion.

It would be VERY helpful if a person submitting a file put the date in the filename also.

There is no way of knowing how current a file is the way things are now.

Anyone else think this is a good idea?

I sure do Mike (baybum). I have a couple of files there that are as old as dirt and wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I know I should update them and really hadn't thought about it until Mike (ka3jjz) mentioned it above. I'll do that this week sometime. Good suggestion.

NINN27's emergency file (.p96) seems to be a pretty current file for vacationers.
