(Moderator, I apologize for the length of this.  Would one advertisement be 
okay in your echo when ROCKETRY is backboned?)
TO YOU AND ANYONE ELSE READING THIS:
My ROCKETRY echo is ready to be requested for addition to the Zone 1 
Backbone. Ask your sysops to please write a netmail or email message to his 
Region Echo Coordinator (REC) and ask the REC to request that the echo 
ROCKETRY be added to the FidoNet Zone 1 Backbone.  You should probably also 
tell the REC that the ROCKETRY echo isn't in the BACKSTAT.NA listing this 
week, it will be next week, but he can go ahead and request it be added since 
it is in the BACKSTAT database (just not published yet), see below. Then it 
should be IN the backbone in a week or two.  In the middle of March, ask your 
sysops to AreaFix the ROCKETRY echo for you.
The REC thing is necessary to get it backboned.  Two RECs must request it for 
it to be added.  Here is a list of the RECs in Zone 1:

And lastly, here is the Elist description for ROCKETRY:
=====================================================================
ROCKETRY
     Rocketry Discussion (Model/High-Power/Ama/Pro/...)
          *****{ The Echo "ROCKETRY" is Under Construction }*****
          {Ask your Region Echo Coordinator to request it to be}
          {added to the Z1 Backbone.}
          {When it is Backboned, this Elist entry will be updated.)
          * The FidoNet echo "Rocketry" (ROCKETRY) is for the
          discussion of any type of rocketry and just about
          anything pertaining to it.
          * Primary Topics:  Model and High-Power Rocketry.  The
          Science and History of Rocketry.
          * Secondary Topics:  Amateur and Professional Rocketry.
          Any other rocketry, manned or unmanned.
          * Tertiary Topics:  Other models, moving (like Radio
          Controlled or Control Line) or static.
          * Look for ROCKETRY's Tulsa Area sister echo, TROCKET.
          * Note:  My system, the origin of TROCKET and ROCKETRY,
          is a mail system, not a Computer Bulletin Board System.
          If you would like to set up a Point from my system,
          contact me.  Otherwise, if you are looking for a dial-up
          BBS that carries this echo, see me and I will help you.
