Message-ID: Hello Everyone, I hope you had a great break, and look forward to the club this semester. We have a bunch of new radio frequency equipment donated, and have a few ideas planned for the semester. Last semester lots of people could not make the meetings due to timing. To try to help this semester, I created a doodle poll at the following link. I would encourage you to fill this out in order to pick the best date for club meetings. http://doodle.com/poll/tcryw5gmhqvvpyxv As you might see, I have created a mailman eMail list using the qsl.net ham radio website in order to encourage participation with e-mails. If you want to ask a question or post to the whole group to get more exposure, please send to: TARA at mailman.qth.net If you want a message specifically directed to TARA officers with email login, please send to: tara.club at npe.nmt.edu Last, I have created a new website which should work for now. Mainly to give it more of a modern look, and simplify. The website is at: nmt.edu/~tara. I look forward to a new semester of experimenting with leading edge wireless and really am looking forward to install of the 440MHz repeater giving socorro-wide handheld radio coverage. - With a cheap Baofeng Transceiver from amazon, and a radio license, you will be able to talk to other students through RF and to the world through AllStar link, IRLP and EchoLink. -Skyler KD0WHB From seth.price at nmt.edu Tue Jan 17 00:30:44 2017 From: seth.price at nmt.edu (Price, Seth) Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 22:30:44 -0700 Subject: [TARA] Amateur Radio Class Message-ID: Hello all, For anyone looking to get licensed, I will be offering a licensure class through the on-campus community college. It is listed as LIFE-189C: Amateur Radio Licensure. Pass this along to anyone who may be interested in getting licensed.
