Tidbits:
An interesting tidbit about C.A.R.L.A. 2 - During the San Francisco Grand Prix Bike Race in September 2001, Robin Williams put in an appearance and was interviewed by ABC television which was televising the race. Right after the interview Robin picked up a nearby mic and "third partied" on the C.A.R.L.A. 2 repeater, talking to a few of the hams who were using C.A.R.L.A. 2 for Race communications.
