Announcements / Comments
W5DZ
- ARES Net this evening 443.425 Repeater
- Looking into the noise on our repeater, “off-on” every second. Our transmitter gets into the beacon light on top of the antenna and produces hash on the input frequency. The fix is fairly expensive.
WG1GEM
- Thursday 5th is the march w5ac meeting.
- Group of W5AC will be going to Belton ham fest. Like to see you all there!
