WELCOME BACK ZOOMers. We also plan on the TNG meeting next week, Oct 21, to have a ZOOM session.

We will start ZOOM meeting logins, details below, about 6:45 pm for the speaker portion of this week’s TNG.

Jim Bacher, WB8VSU, will start about 7:30 pm and fill us in on Digi / Igate confusion at W8BI clarified. Inexpensive ways to listen in to APRS traffic. How to get on APRS.

Just good talk amongst friends AND staying warm.

Even though mask are not required feel free to wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.  There will be some wearing mask so you will not be the only one.

The pop cooler MAY only have water in it. So if you want anything else – bring it.

PLEASE if you are having any of the COVID symptoms DO NOT come to the clubhouse.
