Shutdown of boston-radio-interest list

[Bob DeMattia]

The new groups.io list currently has 67 members.   The limit for free
groups there is 100.
Signups have slowed down to a trickle, so we should be OK.  There are also
a few people
who have more than one email address on the list, so with some cooperation
from then
I could squeeze in a few more.

For those who have not signed up there and still want to, here is the link
one more time:
https://groups.io/g/Boston-Radio-Interest

The group is hidden from public view, so the only way to find it is here in
this archive, or by asking someone else who knows it.

Happy New Year to All!
Bob
