>>> What ever became of the proposed ATM Australian Invasion?

Tentatively being aimed for spring of 2004.  As we get into springtime and
summer 2003, I'll see what interest there is on the world side to visit
Australia.  The idea is not to be exclusively American here.   that Our
best
bet is to be well organized, to have a great schedule in Australia
involving the local Australian amateurs, and to look at charter airflights.
  Of
course, by all means, visit as you please - don't wait for some special
interest group!  My thinking is that gathering a group might throw some
nice extras in our direction that we as individuals would find difficult to
hog tie.
