Technical.  Rick, VE3IQZ reported that the noise we have been hearing on the
repeater must have been caused chiefly by Telus, because now Telus has gone,
and so has the noise.  We now have a 440 repeater: 444.575 with a tone of
162.2 on both input and output.  We will be using 2 metres and 440 for the
Head of The Trent.  Dave, SD that linking to RTR has been experimental thus
far.  Comments have been very positive, so the link will be operational from
7 in the morning until midnight.  Dave, SD reminded us that because of the
link between PBO and RTR, we need to be aware that CANWARN may be up and
running when necessary.  If the condition is green, you can you can talk if
and when you like.  If yellow, then only when necessary.  If red, then not
at all unless reporting a tornado.

 

Website.  Harmen, VE3EMA said that if anyone notes any dead links, we should
let him know.

 

New Business.  Dave SD took orders for call badges.  They will be $5.00
each, and hopefully they will be ready for the next meeting.

 

Jim CC moved for adjournment at 8:23, and Bill, MEW seconded.

 

Respectfully submitted by Devon, VE3DEV.
