Subject: WE0D (TelPac) Station


Hi Bud,
It's been a while but I have my TelPac station up and running again. It's 
been on the air for about a month. I am operating on 145.01 via TAV's digi. 
I understand the Ocala node is down and there are no plans to put it back 
online. If you have any ideas how my telpac node could serve the community I 
would love to hear your ideas. I am located in Summerfield, FL. 15 miles 
south of Ocala on 441/27. I will wait to hear from you,
Best of 73's

Hi, Greg -

Thanks for the update.  I'm in a very busy time right now - getting ready to 
travel for almost the entire month of May!  I've added KD4WOV, W5TWR, and 
KA0OXH to this so you all can work out stuff in my absence.

Ed W5TWR has been working on networking in the Villages and Sumter County 
and Tom KD4WOV is a good contact for Lake County.  Dan KA0OXH will be making 
another try at getting the Clermont switch (145.65) on the air while I'm 
gone.

Yes, the Ocala ROSE is presently down and we don't know what/when will take 
its place.  Charlie K4GBB may have some ideas for the future there.

Much depends on how good the Clermont LAN coverage is to the Marion County 
Line.  Once we establish that we have several sites to evaluate for 
improving coverage in western Lake and eastern Sumter County.

I'm also including this on the fadca at mailman.org reflector as we are now 
filling in/expanding the statewide network and our Central Florida network 
is no long an island - we need to be sure and let others know what is going 
on.

I'll have only limited e-mail while  traveling, perhaps not at all in 
Europe.  I'll be back June 5 or so and get back to work on the networking 
stuff.

73,
