Hello again. In case you haven’t heard, the club has had a great year. We had a very busy summer filled with community public service events. Almost every weekend from June to September found our members at a race, a parade, or a bike ride. Field Day was another successful happening, and all who attended enjoyed it. I personally would like to thank everyone who came forward and gave their time to help out on these events. Special thanks go to Mark Caron, N1UGM, and Ron Prendergast, KD1ZR, for their hard work as board members during the last year. There are a number of committee slots that need to be filled for the year ahead. If you’d like to get involved, please let me know of your interest, and I’ll be happy to find a spot for you! |

| Repeater Info | |
| Repeater Notes: Recently the 145.47 repeater has gotten noisy since a new antenna was put on this fall. This has cause us to put the PL on from time to time (listen to the ID to see if PL is needed) until we can find the source of the noise. The PL is 136.5 (encode only) and for those radios out there that cannot do PL, the users can touch-tone "11" to turn the PL mode off. If you use this option, please remember to return the repeater back to PL mode after you have completed your QSO by touch-tone "10". This is an open code do feel free to pass it over the air. The above PL and codes also work on the 442.800 MHz repeater. |
