Our Med-Flight List is starting

inquires about a list of Med-Flight landing zones, BMF will not
release it to the public so I guess we will have to piece it
together. If you have any LZ's in your area please email them to us

ABOUT MASSNET
"MassNet" was originally formed in 1991 by Brian Stephens of
Multec Communications as "Bundi"
which became one of the first notification systems located on the
south shore of Massachusetts. It was then organized into the "ComNet"
system (short for Communications Network) which at the time had the
largest area of repeater coverage of any notification system in
Massachusetts, without reciprocals. In April 2003 "ComNet" was
purchased from Multec by Bruce McDonald (44) / 3B Communications
LTD. and became Massachusetts Notification Network "MassNet."
"MassNet" is a non-profit repeaterized two-way radio system made up
of five G.M.R.S. repeaters, licensed under FCC call WPZP663, located
in Eastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod which are used by the members
of the system for information exchange about public safety and other
reportable incidents ongoing within our coverage area. "MassNet's"
main repeater "Com 1" which was located in Holbrook is now located
on the top of the
John Hancock Tower in downtown Boston.
"Com 1" is the primary repeater used for our notification. This
repeater is dedicated to notification unlike some other systems we
have no other users on our notification repeater. We also have a
repeater in Brockton, one in Everett, one in Sudbury, one in Foxborough and one
located in Barnstable on Cape Cod. For repeater information
browse the system.
Under the new management of "MassNet"
we have made several financial investments in the infrastructure of
the system which we hope will help make the system more improved and
advanced. We installed a tone panel on the Barnstable
machine allowing us to provide a chat channel on the cape without
bothering the notification and of course the latest being the
relocation to Boston from Holbrook and the Brockton machine being
put on line.
Membership for "MassNet" is $100 per year. This fee goes directly to
the maintenance and operation cost of the repeaters and the MassNet
system. For your convenience MassNet will now accept credit card and
debit card payments for your membership or contact us for payment
information. "MassNet" membership provides access to all our
repeaters and each member will receive their own mailbox @
MassNotification.org as well as access to all members-only areas of
our web site. If you are interested in joining MassNet please fill
out a membership application and we will get back to you ASAP.
