[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] ARC Weekly 2m Net -- Thursday, August 27, 2026

[Ed MacDonald]

Thanks to everyone who participated in Thursday’s net!

We had 12 unique stations checking in:

* KQ4YGT (NCS)
* KI4D
* KQ5T
* KG4DZA
* K4KBK
* KR4CPB
* KI4THF
* WA6MPR
* W4JJ
* AA4HS
* KR4OBH
* N9AWG

On the net...
* We had some people using new radios… and a few people using very old radios — but everyone was making it into the repeater just fine.
* We talked about digital modes, and your NCS learned that he doesn’t need his general license to try JS8!
* I learned that there is a lunar eclipse tonight! But that I probably won’t be able to see it because of clouds
* We talked about mobile operating (from a vehicle)
* We had a first timer! Congrats! Thanks for joining the net :-)

73,
Ed KQ4YGT
