Attention all Hendricks County ARES members and all Amateurs:
Just before the net, Ron Burke, KB9DJA, made an announcement saying that he had removed the duplexer from the 147.015MHz repeater and placed a separate antenna for the transmitter. Thus, removing a lot of the problems that were experienced earlier in the year. He further encouraged those hams who have Handy Talkies to try to get into the HCARES Net. This will apply to the net next Tuesday night too.
• There were no additional over-the-air announcements made this week.
• The various meetings and nets mentioned above are all training opportunities. Please participate in as many as possible.
