Hi Everyone
Please join Rick K8CAV who will be hosting the Thursday night net on the 146.895 repeater with a neg offset and a PL tone of 118.8. He will be using the K8BF club call and I encourage all of you to check in for club Info and other Amateur news.
The net starts at 8:00 pm and you can check in using Echo link on the K8SRR node. Hope to hear all of you on Thursday

Contest Reminder

- We’re not looking for digital-voice simplex as a separate category. First, there isn’t that much DMR/Fusion/D-Star simplex and it probably wouldn’t be your go-to mode in a disaster. Second, it’s FM… so if you do happen to try a digital mode simplex, count the contacts as FM.
- The county total is just that- how many counties did your station contact? It is NOT on a per-band basis, it’s the total count including all your stations/modes operated. Again, we’re motivated to determine your overall simplex footprint.
- EOC is defined the same way as the Field Day rules. If you’re operating from an emergency mobile vehicle (Command bus, trailer) that’s used in conjunction with an EMA/EOC operation, you can claim that to be an EOC especially this year with most EOC entry limited or nonexistent.
- You do not have to be a member of ARES to participate, all hams are welcome! In a disaster, we will probably need all hands on deck, so it’s great practice for everyone.
- It appears we will not be able to operate “The Sarge”, W8SGT, from the Ohio EOC this year. Sorry!
