The CT Section Manager makes the following announcement regarding one of our VHF traffic nets. Anne West, K1STM CT Section Traffic Manager k1stm@xxxxxxxx k1stm@xxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Betsey Doane To: discussion@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2011 8:58 AM Subject: [CT ARES Discussion] Nutmeg Net Resumes Good morning. I have received two enthusiastic offers to host the Nutmeg VHF Traffic net. We will use the Middlesex Amateur Radio Society's 147.09 as primary and the Bristol Radio Club's 146.685 repeater as secondary. The thought is to use both repeaters for handling of traffic concurrently when that becomes necessary. Our STM would like to meet regularly on the alternate frequencyy couple of times per week to allow for coverage differences and nearby repeater interference and other "ridge or mountain" problems that occur for all of us at one time or another. My usual style is to pause until I have all the details figured out but my time today is limited and I want NVTN members to enjoy the net as soon as possible. So we will begin by meeting this week on 147.09 PL 110.9 starting tonight and announce a regular schedule later this week. All operators are reminded that you are guests on another club's repeater. It is not appropriate to tie up a machine for long QSOs outside the net. Thanks. More to follow. Many thanks to ICRC for hosting the net for so many years. Thanks to MARS/CARES and BRC for hosting us now and to all the repeater groups who continue to host public service nets. 73, Betsey Doane, K1EIC Connecticut Section Manager ARRL, the national association for Amateur RadioT k1eic@xxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Click REPLY ALL if you want your reply to the list (updated 24 Jul 2010). ************************** CT ARES(r) Discussion List Posts: discussion@xxxxxxxxxxxx Features: http://mercury.dns-shield.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion_connares.org Unsubscribe: discussion-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxx *********************** List Archive http://mercury.dns-shield.com/pipermail/discussion_connares.org/ TOPICS: (FIRST WORD in the SUBJECT) Drill - discussing Drills and Exercises involving CT ARES SET, Served Agencies (e.g., DEMHS, Red Cross), or related events Info - Notifications of ARES/NTS/SKYWARN training, Public Service events supported by CT ARES, Imfo on go-kits, MCU's etc. General - General Discussions of EmComm topics, e.g., data communications, D-Star, HF NVIS, ICS and ARES, etc - pretty much any appropriate EmComm topic (You MUST set your OPTIONS* to receive the General Category).
