Tom,

I don't have a problem with Rutgers feeding off of Cornell if it's ok with
Bill Noon. The North East is the hardest place in the US to configure, I'm
always short of feeder sites. I was wondering if you would be willing to
accept another down stream site?  It will not happen for some time, but it
would be appreciated.
