Hopefully everyone can make it. I've been hearing about some of the "dish to pass" plans, and I'm already hungry. :) There will also be a few nice donations to be given away as door prizes this year which is also exciting! Also, let's all be sure to formally invite all of our newer hams as there are a few door prizes specifically for them that may immediately make their 2m and 70cm ham radio experience better! I am also still taking/asking/wanting/accepting your digital pictures for our slide show! I can take them right up until the meeting and you can pass them to me at the meeting (if you'd like). They don't have to be current pictures to be interesting! *Please send to myself at kv8p at kv8p.com * . *We are looking for any of the following*; 1. Pictures of your ham shack (Small, mini, huge, and everything and in between. We are indeed hoping for variety!) 2. Any pictures of families (especially those Christmas pictures). We would all like to know more about each-other and families and these can stir up great conversation! 3. Any ugly sweater or other holiday pictures (ham radio related, or not. ) 4. Any pictures from club events this year that we may not have seen already? Any funny ones from this year or years past that you are willing to share? :) I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the party on Wednesday! Doors open at 6pm, and dinner starts at 6:30pm!

Rob / KV8P ? The TMRA 6 meter repeater is now officially "on the air" (as of December 22nd). The frequency is 53.110 with a 1 MHz negative offset (repeater receives on 52.110).? Note that we have noticed that many radios are not programmed with an automatic offset for 6 meters (or have the wrong offset for a different country).? Therefore, you may need to configure the offset spacing in your radio which typically can be done via a visit to your radio manual.? This setting is often one in your radio's menu setting.? The repeater will eventually be in 103.5 pl tone squelch, however, it is currently in carrier squelch for testing. We still have a little audio tweaking to do, and the receiver is not quite as sensitive as we would like quite yet, so watch for some improvements in the coming weeks.? (right now, you will likely hear it better than it hears you). Thanks to Rich (KQ6EF) for his major role in bringing the 6 meter repeater online!? Also, thanks to Rich, Tom (KD8WCD) and Mike (W8MAL) for raising the repeater antenna!

I will be making some off-line audio adjustments and working to implement the available CTCSS circuit that KQ6EF put together. I will make an on-air announcement when the repeater is back online. Look for it again later this evening. 73, Rob - KV8P -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
