It will be over the air on our 2 meter repeater (Repeater information is here http://www.k2ets.com/ ). I have prepared an ICal ICS file that should allow a recurring event for our club meetings to be added to your calendar (smart phone or calendar application). Use the following link to add an recurring club meeting event: http://k2ets.com/ETSNJMeetings.ics . I've only tested this on iOS and Outlook, so let me know if anyone has trouble on other systems. If you are unable to connect to the repeater over the air you may be able to connect over the internet via Echolink. You can use Echolink ( http://www.echolink.org/ ) on your computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate on the repeater. You will need to validate ( http://www.echolink.org/validation/ ) your Amateur Radio license and then you can use the system. Once connected search for node K2ETS-R. I am still working on the minutes from the last meeting and will try to have them done before the meeting.
