[hbco2]

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.  Trinity Community Church, San Rafael, 7:00PM-9:00PM.

 

Thursday's Class:

 

 Class 1 - Introduction and propagation

  Class 2 - Radio Configuration

 Class 3 - Net Control Procedures

*  Class 4 - Message Handling and general review.

 

 

Tonight (Monday) we will be testing our Central Marin Repeater as part of
the CERT Radio program.  We will conduct an exercise with our repeater in
the hills in San Anselmo.   Please join us 7:00-7:30 PM on the air, starting
on Channel 4 (Mill Valley Repeater, 146.775 (-) PL 110.9), then on Channel 5
(Central Marin Repeater, 146.775 (-) PL 127.3).  We will be tentatively
using 438.300 as the cross band channel from Mill Valley into Channel 5.  We
will also be using Channel 3 (145.640 simplex).

 

The Channel 5 repeated is exhibiting quite a bit of 'desense' and at present
has reduced sensitivity.  We are working to improve its performance but it
may take installation of new equipment to bring the repeater to a level of
satisfactory performance.

Look forward to seeing you!
