Zoom Meeting Jan 12 2021
Hi all,
Happy new year. This is inviting you to the MBARC January Zoom meeting. We are going to have a general meeting for MBARC this Tuesday evening over Zoom. (see below) We hope to make this another good general get together type of meeting. The main subject for this meeting will be about using IRLP, which is part of the project that we started for the King Mt. repeater site. We'll have a demonstration with Chris KC9AD in Arizona over the King Mt. repeater while on Zoom at the meeting. We plan to have several IRLP nodes connected and show off how IRLP can be used to make very long distance contacts on VHF. This should help people get comfortable using it. And show
proper etiquette for using it, along with how easy it is. Then maybe we can answer some questions about classes, testing, and radio operation. And some, may have stuff for sale. We will up-date you on other ACS groups in the county also. Still looking for a logo selection for the club. Those that
have a logo to show off and want to enter to get selected, should
send it to a Drop Box location I have set up. https://www.dropbox.com/request/FcWd4xfnLfDCbHAMz4cU
.
Again, I think most of the meeting will be a chance to see
everybody again. Contact President@mbarc.org for a Zoom invite. |
King IRLP Node is UP AND RUNNING
The King Mountain VHF IRLP node has been resurrected. The link below will show the IRLP status page. |
