The MARC repeater was down for a bit... but much like the 220 band itself,
it magically fixed itself! I love the 220 band!
The net tomorrow evening will START on the repeater! (Providing it stays
Up). After the first couple of Check-ins, I will announce to everyone QSY
(change channels) to the MARC 220 Simplex frequency.
Im doing this for 2 purposes... 1- to simulate a grid down event, happening
during a net, and 2- practicing how to QSY to another frequency in case our
repeater goes down again... and assuming that happened during a net.
There you have it!
Until the Net, 73!
