[PPRAANet] PPRAA Remote Station

[Jim Harris via PPRAANet]

Dear PPRAA Members,
The PPRAA board is pleased to announce a new member benefit.  Effective immediately, your club has a remote HF station available for all club members.  As you are reading this email you obviously have the computer and internet connection to operate the station.  Your computer will need a sound card, headphone or earphone or speakers and a microphone.  All you need to do is send an email to me at jim.w0em at yahoo.com and I will email the recently developed tutorial that will guide you through downloading the needed software, installing it and getting yourself on the air.  We are working to get the tutorial added to the members section of ppraa.org so that it is readily accessible to all members.
Please follow the tutorial carefully and completely.  Otherwise you may experience difficulties.  Please contract me via email if you have difficulties and have made a reasonable effort to correct the situation.
This station does not give you any amateur radio privileges other than those you already have from the FCC.  Do not abuse your license or station privileges.  The station does keep a complete log of all activity.  There are provision to remove operating privileges from those that may abuse their privileges or the station.  Any ticket issued by the FCC or an Official Observer will be to you as the operator and not the PPRAA nor the remote station.
Please enjoy this club provided asset.  I would also like to thank Dan Martin and Raleigh Holcomb for helping test the remote station.
Jim H.,  W0EM
