[Troop139] [pcaresraces] Technical Preparation "Dry Run" for the Fair Lawn Fireworks and future exercises

[KC2RSS Gmail]

As a general fyi--
As per discussions had Friday night, I  setup the irc server on my raspberry pi, i decided to make sure that some problems were avoided by providing some built in instructions.

When logging in to the irc server a list of channels I setup and info on further setup will show up(including how to set your call sign into the system).

As channels are added it is easy to append that information

I have been running tests for longevity, as well as trying to verify ports.

The pi doesnt care what it's ip is for the server and it is set with a static ip/ port forwarding from my mesh router.
