[MarinTeams] CERT Radio On-Air Practice Tonight (Monday)

[Bill Smith]

This Thursday we will be conducting our ongoing CERT Radio Communication Classes.  Whether for the first time, or as a refresher, please take the time to join us.

Thursday's Class:

  Class 1 - Introduction and propagation
* Class 2 - Radio Configuration
  Class 3 - Net Control Procedures
  Class 4 - Message Handling and general review.  We will start afresh next week.  
  This Thursday is an ideal time to attend!

Our on air practice continues, tonight (each Monday) from 7:00pm - 7:30pm.  Look forward to hearing you this evening (Monday) on the K6BW repeater - Novato (146.775 - pl 127.3).

Access K6BW from (146.775 - pl 151.4) to join the net using the West Marin repeater.  Please wait until a call is made using the West Marin system to avoid interference between the repeaters.

Access K6BW from (146.775 - pl 110.9) to join the net using the Mill Valley repeater.   Please wait until a call is made using the Mill Valley system to avoid interference between the repeaters.

The cross-band repeater in Mill Valley is operating to connect to the Novato Repeater.   Send and receive on 438.300 (simplex) with a PL of 100 in parts of Corte Madera and Mill Valley to connect to the repeater in Novato. 

The cross-band repeater in Greenbrae is operating to connect to the Novato Repeater.   Send and receive on 441.925 (simplex) with a PL of 156.7 in parts of Corte Madera, Ross and surrounding areas to connect to the repeater in Novato.

For the technically minded, if you would like an intuitive overview of wave theory, interference patterns, Fourier Transforms and how human memory/sense of reality might be described in terms of Holograms, you will enjoy the presentation on http://twit.tv/show/home-theatre-geeks/125.  It is likely to provide you with a new perspective... in the words of Gene Autry, you "Might larn a few things."
