A the last meeting, it was mentioned there was a strange noise on the
147.030 repeater. Remember, the 147.030 and the 443.900 repeaters are both
now using Yaesu Fusion digital and analog hardware, you may hear some
strange noises out of the repeater if someone is using digital through the
repeater and you are listening on a analog FM radio. This will become more
likely as we see more local hams purchasing new radios. I just heard from
KA9CFD that he now has a Yaesu radio capable of the Yaesu digital modes, as
does KB9HGI and W9LEM.

Currently, the local Yaesu repeaters are set for automatic mode detection,
that is, if you use analog FM, the repeater puts out FM, if you use one of
the C4FM digital modes, the repeater will transmit in that mode. If that
becomes a real issue with the majority of the users, we may look at
dedicating one of the Yaesu repeaters to analog only, or at least analog
output.

Also, the 443.900 repeater is currently off the air for some repair. We do
not know how long it will be down, but the radio has been shipped back to
Yaesu for repair. As soon as they return it, it will go back in to service,
hopefully no more than a couple of weeks.

On June 17th, there will be an event finishing up in northeast Missouri that
will need several hams to help with communications. Bike Across Missouri
will start on the west side of the state and end at the Mississippi River on
the 17th. Don Vary, KD0HHN, is the Amateur Radio liaison for this end of the
trip and Don is looking for help to man several checkpoints. If you can help
on the 17th, please contact Don directly and let him know. Don's email
address is kd0hhn at hotmail.com

Communications people are need for both events. Bridge the Gap is Saturday
morning May 21, BAM help is needed Friday June 17th. If you want more
