Hello everyone:
Further to my note this morning, Les VE3KFS, our Repeater Committee
chair advises me that it was deteriorating over the weekend. I hadn't
noticed it particularly, although I thought the 'growl', as some
described it, was getting worse. Les says that Don has probably
pulled the transmitter and receiver already. So, the repeater will be
up when it's up.
In light of the current repeater situation, I am cancelling tonight's
net. While it could be done on a simplex frequency, which one?
(146.52 is an international calling frequency. 146.94 reverse?
Perhaps, but does everyone know how to activate that capability on
their radio? You may be surprised how many apparently don't.) Also,
Bill VE3NFU, the scheduled controller for tonight, only has an indoor
antenna so he definitely needs the repeater to be heard.
As there won't be a net tonight, may I remind everyone about the
meeting tomorrow night. For details, see the November Newsletter at:

Cheers & 73s,
