Re: OT: ATOM Feeds : Working for anyone?

The ATOM feed works fine on the RSS reader app on my phone.

I'm using http://chgpa.org/forums/feed.php as the URL if that helps.

Re: Hang glider crash in Peters Township, Franklin Co?

The second article says it was a 25 year old PG pilot. I trained with a guy last fall about that age who was mentioning launching from gas pipeline cuts in that area:
