This bulletin was once started by Gary, W7DCR, as a list
of hams who were also radio officers in the merchant navy.
When Gary closed down his MBO, ZS5S took over and renamed
the bulletin 'Chirping Mickey Mice' (the Amtor mode at 
the time had a characteristic chirping sound).
Around 1990, with the advance of Aplink, details of some 
yachts appeared on the list.
In 1994 ZS5S was the first MBO in the world providing
a Radio-Email service maintaining this position for
two years. By 1996 the number of CMM participants 
had sky-rocketed.
Thereafter an increasing number of Winlink/Netlink MBO's 
started to share the load and the number of CMM participants 
went down.
After the start of Winlink-2000 the CMM feature was
basically incorporated in that system.
The CMM bulletin has served us well but has now outlived 
its usefulness. It has been terminated with immediate effect.
