Message-ID: <CACvhBuA7E7Dbr7xQdUQy+zewQzQd0oAF6K4Q4BqMFNR8Kqp4bQ@mail.gmail.com>

Well, the first weekly Yaesu System Fusion Net (YSF) was held Tuesday
evening at 9:00 PM and it was an excellent exchange of information and
answers to excellent questions.  We had 11 check-in's with seven amateur
radio operators who already had System Fusion base stations and / or
handheld radios beginning the Net on the traditional analog side for the
majority of the time.  Four check-in's were interested in System Fusion to
put into service at a later date.  Questions ranged from very basic to a
little more in-depth but all were answered by WA3UVV, N8OZY and KD8YNY very
astutely and were very understandable.  In spite of nasty weather in the
area, the Net lasted over an hour and even took a few minutes to test out
on the digital side with great fun, challenges discovered and results to
rectify those challenges.  Digital audio in nothing shy of stunning and a
significant improvement for the ears. We discussed Best Practices, software
to load frequency channels into both mobile and base radios, and future
programs for the MWA Monthly Meetings to easily get folks up and running
with their own YSF radios.  We want to thank everyone who checked-in and
encourage everyone to check out the new NET next week!  You don't have to
have a YSF radio to check-in or to learn about the wave of the future when
it comes to C4FM digital modes.  GET RADIOACTIVE!  The Monongalia Wireless
Association is here to serve our members and the amateur radio community in
our area.  See ya next week!

Just before I list this on eBay, my wife is selling her MacBook air, 2015
i5, 8Gb mem, 120Gb SSD in very good condition, boxed.  She has a new one
and has no need for this one, so if you are interested, let me know by
Sunday please.

We are looking for $300 cash, they sell around $400 to $500 on eBay but I
don't want to pay the fees, so it can go to someone I know at a nice price.

*This is a private sale, nothing to do with the club.*

The second Yaesu System Fusion (YSF) Net was another great evening of
education and fun!  We had 10 check-in's including new friends from
Clarksburg and Elkins!  They told us there are YSF Nets on the Parsons
Repeater on Saturday's at 9 PM (analog FM to start)  on a frequency of
145.370 mHz and a PL tone of 103.5 and the Clarksburg YSF Net is on
Thursday's at 9 PM (analog FM to start) on a frequency of 147.165 mHz with
a PL tone of 91.5... so let's join the fun!  We discussed more "Best
Practices" and how to load freqs into our various YSF radios, and the
possibility to do a beta test in the future of linking the regional YSF
capable repeaters for practicing for a regional emergency event for
ECOMMS.  I want to thank Randy (N8OZY) and Dean (KD8YNY) for the education
and wisdom imparted.  I also want to thank Aaron (KE8FVA) from Elkins who
provided insight into the other regional YSF Nets!  We always start out on
the analog FM side of our 2 meter Repeater on Tuesday nights at 9 PM and
you don't have to have a YSF rig to come play with us!  Come join the fun
next week!

Hi all!

Just a reminder that the W8CUL 2 meter net is tonight at 9pm local on the W8CUL 146.760 repeater.

We have just completed an install of a new repeater and would like to get checkins to test it!

Hope to hear you on the net!

Subject: [W8MWA] ARRL Rookie Round-Up this Sunday (HF SSB CONTEST)
Message-ID: <CACvhBuCdzSZgL1hSi7PoAb1RhYFLCLs5UGzUYRa+rWdYVC84ew@mail.gmail.com>

Great opportunity to work on your Worked All States (WAS) award, to
exercise the electrons in you antenna, to help Rookies work on their
amateur radio skills... and to have a lot of HF fun!  It's a 4 hour contest
on Sunday and begins late afternoon.

The *ARRL Rookie Roundup* <http://www.arrl.org/rookie-roundup> SSB returns
on Sunday, April 15, starting at 1800 UTC and continuing through 2359 UTC.
The aim of Rookie Roundup is to encourage recently licensed operators in
North America (including territories and possessions) to operate on the HF
bands and experience competitive Amateur Radio operating.

You're a Rookie if you were first licensed in 2018, 2017, or 2016 (send the
year you were first licensed in the exchange).

You can *qualify* as a Rookie for just 1 year in two possible ways: if you
were licensed before 2016 but made your first Amateur Radio contact during
2018, 2017, or 2016, or if you never made a contact using the mode of the
Rookie Roundup event (in this case, SSB) before the 2018 Rookie Roundup
(send the current year in your exchange).

 The object is simple: Rookies attempt to make as many contacts as possible
during the 6-hour event on 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters. Rookies work
everyone, and non-Rookies work only Rookies. Experienced operators are
encouraged to participate and help new operators ? either on the air or in
person.

Experienced hams may want to consider opening their stations to Rookies and
serving as contesting mentors. The more operators on the air, the more fun
the Roundup will be for everyone.

Rookies call ?CQ Rookie Roundup,? while veteran ops call ?CQ Rookies.?
Exchange the call sign of the station you?re working, your call sign*, *your
first name, the two-digit number of the year first licensed, and your
state, Canadian province, Mexican call area, or DX.

Message-ID: <CA+zrLTbH0vPzE3bODAWoFkzW_JOk-gc=3q334FjEwBGs5zMT7g@mail.gmail.com>

Hi guys and girls, just some information about the digital system and
Wires-x system.

I have set up a node at home which is using the W8MWA repeater as a Wires-X
gateway, if you have a Wires-X compatible C4FM radio, you can play on the
Wirez-X system.

It may be up all weekend, this is just a trial and test run to see how it
works out.  If you have not done so already, please read your manual
regarding the use of Wires-X and familiarize yourself with the radio that
you are using.

As with most repeaters, please check, call out to see if it is in use
before you connect, once connected you may roam around the various rooms to
chat with people.  One very common room is the America-Link room with a
room ID of (21080)

Any issues, please let me know...  I can't be of much help otherwise
because I am unable to use my radios while this is up...

While this is up, Analog traffic can still use the repeater as can digital
traffic, this system will not stop anyone from using it, but while it is in
use obviously will.

Have fun...

Messaging, repeater announcements feature, repeater output on both
repeaters, antenna updates, antenna heights on the tower, opportunities to
put up an APRS Digipeater, an APRS iGate possible in the Cheat Lake area,
and YSF radio set-up Best Practices.  I want to thank Randy, Cory, Josh and

Greetings!

As Riley is well known in the amateur radio community, plus his talks are consistently entertaining and informative, we want to extend a special invitation to hams in other area clubs, including those in adjoining sections.

Parking will be in the covered area at the main terminal building and the meeting will begin at?7:30PM, with doors opening at?7:00PM.? We will be helping with "last mile" directions on our 147.045 MHz repeater, which uses a CTCSS tone of 131.8 Hz.
So that we can properly plan, please let us know if you are going to attend, by sending an email to?wa3uvv at .... with the subject "May Meeting" - no later than?Monday, April 30th.
We look forward to seeing you at what will surely be a memorable and enjoyable evening.
