[PPRAANet] Just as a reminder---Repeater Training/new repeater setup...Sat. 11 Mar 06

[N0MUD at aol.com]

The Rocky Mountain High ARC would  like all Amateurs to know that on Mar 
11th, 06 a Saturday  at about 10am we will be hosting a repeater class.  We will 
be hosting  several of the local repeater Gurus or the men with the plan.  
These are  the Amateurs that know all, can fix all, and can do all with repeaters. 
 We  have a 2 meter (VHF) repeater that we acquired and have recently 
received  our assigned frequencies from the Colorado Council of Amature Radio Clubs 
or  more commonly known as CCARC in Denver.   If you've ever    wondered what a 
repeater looks like on the inside, or if you have questions  about repeaters 
then COME ONE COME ALL.  The repeater TECHS will bring  their expensive 
personnal equipment they use to work on repeaters, and they  will make sure the 
repeater is operating on frequency and tuned  properly.  All HAMs that have been 
around for awhile, all HAMs  that use repeaters daily or any NEWBI HAMs that 
are still learning Amateur radio  and wonder what that repeater they use looks 
like..  Our fully  operational 70 centimeter (UHF) repeater (closed) is 
available to look  at..  The UHF repeater has been fully operational for just over a 
full year  now and has good coverage of Colorado Springs. The 2 meter(VHF) 
repeater  will be open to all HAMS so if you want to use it and your brand new 
then  hurry and get your Ham tests taken so you can get on the air.
 
Address is located at 126  Lawrence Ave. We will be located in the rear in 
the garage of WØrsh, Bob  Hatch.  If you go to the back of the house there is a 
driveway into a large  parking lot located between a large glass building that 
is located on the corner  of Parkside and Bijou.  If you come in from Pikes 
Peak east then turn left,  northbound onto Parkside. At the stop sign at 
Parkside and Bijou turn right,  East bound and then immediately turn right in the 
driveway right behind that big  building on your right. If you need directions 
from any other way in please call  or email us.  The talk in freq will be 
146.520 simplex and yes there will  be coffee and donuts.
 
Please RSVP to w0rsh  at(@)arrl.net or call Bob at 719-635-9435.  You can 
also email me: Mike  Dassero, N0mud at(@)arrl.net .. The garage is Bob's 
Electronics and he is  in the shop Mon-Fri 9am-4pm, so if you have any questions at 
all either email or  call, Bob will return your call or answer your email as 
soon as he  can.  We ask that you please RSVP so we have an idea on how many 
chairs,  coffee and donuts to have available.  Don't worry if you can't RSVP then 
at  least show up, we won't turn you away. 
 
Our club has been in  existance for just over a year with seven members, two 
repeaters and we  meet unofficially in Bob's garage.  Our club is also working 
on a club  patch and qsl cards, and slowly growing.  The club call sign is  
W9usn.. 
Again COME ONE, COME all to a  official/unofficial repeater class.  If your 
curious just show up but we do  ask everyone to please RSVP if at all possible.
 
Thanks and 73's

Bob Hatch, WØrsh, Vice  Preseident
