Discord
For those familiar with Discord – it is quite handy. We’ve used it to coordinate discussions during events such as Field Day, and test sessions. For those familiar with Slack it is similar.

Legacy Google Groups
Before Groups.io we ran things with Google Groups which some may still utilize information but we are not adding members to these groups. The weather list is the only remaining active group as of 2022 and that is included in the Groups.io group listed above.
