[Ldsoss] Wireless Networks in Church Buildings

[John Harrison]

How much time the transmit function wastes varies.  Sometimes it takes
only a minute or two, other times it can take over 15 minutes.  Many
times there are other people waiting to use the system.  There is
often a line outside the clerk's office during sunday school.  The
ability to simply enter HT and VT results on a website at home would
be a real help.
