[FARC] July Meeting Reminder

[Kirk Talbott]

Alternate communication modes should be an interesting discussion.    I hope 
with the move out of the club shack, the club station can be put in the 
Independent Fire Hall somewhere, a logical location.

IF we can get the club station in the fire hall or other central location in 
Frederick County, then I suggest we get a computer with Internet and TNC and 
set up a Packet/Outpost/APRS station with it.   Or maybe we have it already. 
I even have a Kantronics KPC-3+ TNC I can donate to the cause.    Being in 
Independent Fire Hall the station would make a good demonstration for other 
club members and be integral to ARES SET testing in October.    The full 
capabilities of the digital modes for emcomm could be demonstrated. 
Actually we know they work, it's just a matter of building the station and 
creating the testing scenario.
