Another great day in amateur radio!

Just my opinion . . .

The GSARC holds 3 nets each week. Please join us on the air.

• Sundays at 7:00pm on the 147.330 MHz Repeater
• Tuesdays at 8:00pm on the 444.675 MHz Repeater
• Thursdays at 8:00pm on the 145.110 Repeater

Don't get caught short. KF4CJE, Jim sent me an email and asked that I post the following link. He apparently like most of us have not checked the expiration date on our FCC Amateur Radio License lately and he had to do a quick renewal, thanks to the technologies of today he was able to comply with this online and said it was a breeze. I have taken the liberty to check all members call sign with the FCC site to see when your license expires and the list below is the result. I will attempt to keep the list available and as the months approach I will alert you.

The Georgetown, SC repeater (147.375) is now part of the K4SHP/AD4TZ Repeater Linking System. During times of severe weather, a ham radio operator should receive and transmit a quality signal using that repeater from downtown Georgetown and rural Georgetown County when The Greater Horry County Skywarn is in activation. This upgrade....

Here is a convenient LINK to the new and improved site. If you have any questions send me and email n4xml@w4gs.org and I will be glad to help. This link can also be found on the sidebar.

Due to constant interference on the GSARC Repeater network it was suggested to implement PL tone on all the receivers. This was brought before the membership at the March 2008 meeting in the form of a motion and the results of the vote was unanimous to comply with, one condition was to have the PL tone of 85.4 Hz announced. Effective April 1, 2008 this change will be implemented. Please pass this information to all on any nets you may check into whether they are local or otherwise.
