[CALV-AUXCOMM] Net Instead of Dec Meeting - Dec 19 at 7pm

[Shawn Donley]

Hello Calvert AUXCOMM members and email reflector members.
 
Rather than holding our usual in-person meeting this month, we'll have a net instead on Dec 19, 7pm on the 146.985 repeater.  At the end of the net I'd like members to practice using MT63-2000L, using the repeater for increased coverage.  
 
If you're not familiar with MT63, it's a digital mode using a sound card interface like a SignaLink.  The MT63 software is part of the fldigi software package available at http://www.w1hkj.com/  or https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/
 
Time and interest permitting, we may also try some Winlink peer-to-peer using our digipeater on 145.070 MHz. 
 
Mike, N1JMC, has recently offered to help with digital modes and I entourage you to try.   Our digipeater can be used at any time for packet-based digital modes like Winlink or plain old AX25 packet.   The CARA repeater can be used for some of the sound card modes like MT63 on a non-interfering bases (i.e. not during Monday nets or a Skywarn or AUXCOMM activation).
 
Hope to see most of you at the Dec 7 CARA holiday party.
 
Best 73
