Traders net on 28.374

Hello to all,

There will be a traders net on 28.374 based out of the Hickory, NC area at 8:30 PM. It will be every Monday night to my knowledge. We look forward to hearing you there. We will be mostly horizontal polarization and will be swinging the beam around to try to hear everyone. However, some of us will try to swap over to vertical to see if we are missing anyone.

Look around and see what you have to get rid of and lets list it tonight at 8:30 PM!

73,

Rick N4WYK

P.S. If you would like to give a try at various digital modes someone is generally there every night running SSTV of various varieties (ie: MMSSTV or other programs). Plus we are hoping to try WinDRM (As soon as someone helps us figure it out). We also have tried Digital SSTV as well but find one must have a fairly strong signal to work this mode but relays can be done, etc. (ie: EasyPal). Come meet with us there!

News letter and Hamfest

Hi everyone,

I am way behind again. Soccer has kept me tied up. Get a little time off for Fall Break and I am trying to get caught up.

I have uploaded the September newsletter to the website September News Letter and will get the one for October posted as soon as I get it.

The NEW October issue and previous monthly News Letters can be found here.

I have also updated the hamfest pages. Oak Ridge 2007 Hamfest Please look over them and make sure everything is correct.

I hope to make the meeting tomorrow and will be at the Hamfest.

Anything else I can do to help?
