[TARA] Important Radio Club Event tonight

[Skyler NMT]

Hey Everyone,

We are finally receiving the main part of our repeater project for the
Workman building we have been working on since last semester.

The second Vice President of the American Radio Relay League (Brian N5ZGT)
is coming along with a few other Rocky Mountain Ham Radio members.
(RMHAM.org, they do cool stuff)

The repeater handoff will be done, and we will start to get to work on
finalization for the install next week. The project is coming together, and
will hopefully be on the air in a few weeks from today. Once the repeater
is up, it will be the only operational UHF (440MHz / 70cm) machine workable
from Socorro.

When this repeater is operational, ALL you need to talk on it is a cheap
Baofeng radio from Amazon ($25) and an amateur radio license. We had 2
radio donations for anyone who needs it, so the next two students to
receive their license will receive one of these radios for free if you show
interest in using the repeater. With AllStar link, we will be able to link
to other mountaintops, universities, and other repeaters around the world.

Hope to see you here tonight!

Same location as usual:
•The Student Activity Center / Campus Police
•2nd floor, South Wing, room 212
•Meeting at 7:00PM tonight (Friday February 10th)
