Earlier tonight we found out that the echolink has not been working for a few days, and a member had to contact me through the old broken telephone system (through another member) in order to get it fixed, and I realised that although we have made many improvements to modernize contacting us, and make it more efficient but there has not been any notice out to the membership that is my mistake. So I am sending out this email to clarify.

Contacting the Executive

Entire Board of Directors: board@ve3pbo.ca

President: president@ve3pbo.ca

Vice-President: vp@ve3pbo.ca

Secretary: secretary@ve3pbo.ca

Treasurer: treasurer@ve3pbo.ca

Activities Director: activties@ve3pbo.ca

Any questions on membership status, or joining should be sent to the treasurer.

Contacting Appointees

Technical Committee: tech@ve3pbo.ca

Anything regarding the repeater network, echo link, allstar hamwan, etc should be sent to the tech team.

Website: webmaster@ve3pbo.ca

Anything to do with the website or google workspace should be sent to the webmaster.

Quartermaster: quatermaster@ve3pbo.ca

Any equipment donations or questions about PARC equipment should be sent to the Quartermaster.

Education Committee: education@ve3pbo.ca

This email goes to both examiners any questions about getting licensed, or courses should goto the education committee. Any questions about getting a license or exam should be sent here.

PL Net Coordinator: plnet@ve3pbo.ca

Any questions about the PL Net should be directed here.

As someone else assumes these roles the emails will be assigned to whomever is occupying that position.

You of course can reach any of the current executive and appointees at callsign@ve3pbo.ca

PARC Email Accounts

Any member who wishes so can get a PARC gmail account with an email of callsign@ve3pbo.ca this includes full access to Google Workspace (Google Docs, Drive, Meet, etc) if you would like yours setup please email webmaster@ve3pbo.ca . Please note that once your account is created and a temporary password is created you only have a few days to sign in for the first time or the account will be locked, and the password will have to be reset.

A Note About The Current Mailing List

Due to extreme spam filtering at Bell, and Cogeco. Any email address that you have with them will eventually not work with the current mailing list, they eventually start rejecting the emails. If that is your current provider I would recommend you switch to a PARC email or set up your own gmail account.

Thanks Everyone I hope this clarifies, and I am looking forward to seeing you at field day.

Best Regards,

Clay Youmans (VE3YCL)

President
