Greetings, MARC Members and Friends of MARC!
Once again the time has come for another meeting of the Murray Amateur
Radio Club! This week, the meeting will be presented by our own Paul
(AE4KR) who will be regaling us with tales of the Signal Report. The
meeting will be at Murray Fire Station #81 at 4848 S Box Elder St (35 W)
right here in Murray. The meeting will start at 6:30 PM Mountain Time
on Thursday, June 2nd. Prior to the meeting, at around 6:00, we will
have a brief "check-in" net on our own club repeater at 223.96 MHz (tone
of 103.5 Hz).
If you don't have a radio that operates on the 1.25m band, you should
look into getting one as that is our primary band for emergency use.
The TYT-350 has turned out to be a great handheld that supports the
1.25m band as well as 2m and 70cm. I just checked and the Amazon seller
has two of them left in stock at $72 while buytwowayradios.com has them
in stock for under $70. What a bargain! These TYT radios use the
standard Kenwood-style mic/headset plug, so if you already have a
handmic for your Baofeng, it will work on this radio, too.
And now, for a note about upcoming meetings... once again, the Murray FD
will be doing a CERT class in June. This will only affect us for the
meeting on the 16th. They have offered the use of the "small conference
room" at station 81, which seats 12-18 people. I'd like to get a count
of how many people we are expecting to come on the 16th (the topic that
week will be FCC Emission Exposure Limits). If we're expecting more
than about 15, we'll probably need to have the meeting in the EOC at
station 83. Let me know if you are planning to come.
Also, I sent out the e-mails last night for updating the club roster.
So far, I've received 19 responses from our 46 members. NOTE, if your
e-mail on record with the club is @comcast.net, you will NOT have
received the e-mail as Comcast is currently blocking the IP address of
the system that I am sending the mails from. I have contacted them to
request that they remove the IP from their blacklist but that request is
still in progress. I know that we have had issues before with mail
being sent from the web site before and I thought I had all of those
issues worked out, but apparently not with Comcast. It looks like only
seven users were affected by this, so if I don't get it resolved with
Comcast in the next couple of days I'll resend it from my own e-mail
account.
Thank you all for your support!
