Should AMRAD have some sort of special event on Feb 17 to mark its 
passing?  I assume they will pull the big switch all across the country 
on midnight, Feb 16.

Perhaps we should set our VCRs to record the cutoff as seen at that time.

Or how about a commemorative gathering at some sports bar where they use 
off the air signals on their large screen TVs.  We could all get some 
sort of appropriate adult beverage to toast each other as the signal 
disappears.

Perhaps a gathering on the AMRAD repeater to reminisce while the signal 
fades to black.
