Many of u are active with Skywarn, and the PARK repeater is used for weather reporting to the NWS. I didn't have a fixed idea of a topic when I reached out, but because of our sporadic interaction with the NWS, and the dramatic weather conditions DFW has, from ice storms, to tornadoes, extreme heat, possibly even a hurricane, and severe storms that can form directly on top of us with little to no warning other than the NWS can forecast it based on things nobody else can see there can be a lot to talk about in terms of how forecasting is done. Then also technologies involved, from Doppler radar, satellite imagery, to other technologies. Explaining what the NWS does, and what commercial entities may also do as well. We have a decent sized LCD screen that the audience can see from their seats, we have an HDMI cable that goes to our laptop and we've got a clicker. You are free to bring your own laptop or whatever, and plug it in if that's easier, or just a Powerpoint on a USB stick. We can set up a table if there's other stuff to present as well. Just let me know what you might need. Our meeting starts at 7p, and we take care of club business first, generally about half an hour, then a short break, and then the program, so you can come just to present and we can set you during the break. Or you can come for the meeting and learn a bit about what we have going on., including our plans to expand coverage of the PARK repeater deeper and more reliably into Collin county. -- Anthony Burokas General Class Ham (KB3DVS) VP: Plano Amateur Radio Klub ¨C http://k5prk.net 25-year video producer ¡ª IEBA.com

Update from PMC install.
Hi All, It appears that the reason PMC is taking so long to re-approve is they've halted approvals for almost everything due to preparing for the outbreak in Texas as well as the construction on the other building. I've asked them to push through my single repeater install due to a CERT training coming up which is what got that reason. I'm expecting that to install more than that (multiple antennas and microwave links) will take a little longer approval process due to them being overloaded at the moment, I'll keep pushing though.

PARK March Club Meeting 4
Today's update from Sam, our speaker form the National Weather Service. He still plans on being here Monday. but. Again, I'll be away on Monday - school spring break for the kids on Frisco so we're taking a trip. If there's a backup idea, it might be good to have something in-pocket in case of a federal closure, or in case more people get fired from the NWS and Sam's included, etc. I don't want to cancel or bump him to a later date after having spent nearly a year trying to schedule a NWS presentation. And I don't want to schedule a second speaker as backup, and then not let the backup presenter present because Sam could still come. Thoughts?

Newsletter update - Field Day
Hello Lonnie - Below is my submission for Field Day This year we plan to use Field Day as an opportunity to promote HAM Radio in general and PARK specifically. Here are some idea's I'm kicking around for this year: Different communications modes/format. The idea here is to demonstrate how HAM radio can leverage the internet through DMR, Echolink and AllStar. We could also demonstrate how PARK uses solar power during Field Day and how HAM is used for emergency communications. Please let me know if you have any favorite communications modes you'd like to demonstrate for Field Day. It might also be fun for anyone interested to come out Saturday evening for a cook-out and get together for the club members. If that sounds good, rrach out to me and let's plan an event for the club.

Tracking PR outreach. 4
Do libraries have flyers for local activities any more? If they do, and could consider having a flyer or pamphlet for PARK then we coudl also enlist public libraries in the Plano area to host some flyers that promote ham radio and specifically promote PARK - we can assess the effectiveness of different campaigns by putting a QR code and web page specifically for each campaign - library flyers - Interested in radio communications? Check out PARK local ham mailers - Congrats on your license, check out PARK & Field Day! store flyer - Hey HAM, join us for out next club meeting and Field Day PR bulletins to local news - Interested in Radio, PARK's next meeting features this program... e-mails to high schools and colleges etc. Your imagination is the limit when it comes to ways we can start to actively promote PARK to the surrounding community. Right now, none of this happens on a regular basis so adding anything is a massive improvement. With distinct landing pages for each outreach campaign, we can count, specifically, how many people hit that page, and when. Tracking this over time we can concretely measure what gets a response, what doesn't and then focus our energies on what works, cot off what doesn't, take notes, and try new things in rotation. -- Anthony Burokas General Class Ham (KB3DVS) VP: Plano Amateur Radio Klub ¨C http://k5prk.net 25-year video producer ¡ª IEBA.com

Prosperity Bank Meeting
Tim, Anthony and BJ, we are good for meeting at Prosperity Bank on Thursday morning at 9:00. BJ, I've attached the contact information for Danny Hernandez. He will be our contact for Thursday. Since you are the new assignee for the account Danny has asked that you fill out the attached ID form and send it before we meet. That will speed things up on Thursday. Tim and Anthony, we just need to bring our drivers' licenses.

Repeater Summary 11
Hi Everyone, I'm back in town and was ready to fix the system as of last night however Allen had no techs available so it waited until this morning. Here's the repair summary. (minus D-Star) It appears that any power supply turned on was affected, a short diagnosis showed arcing behavior in the back of one supply, meaning our surge came in via electrical path, this is further shown by the one PSU that was off surviving. I have replaced all the power supplies with a single power supply, this supply has a 6 way fused breakout using as much existing cabling as possible to prevent having to modify it again when proper power supplies are reinstalled. While I have not managed to test the APRS or packet systems yet those radios are on and checking SWR on the VHF antenna showed no issues with expected wattage on the path. Does anyone have questions for me? I'll look to be replacing these supplies with identical versions if they still exist otherwise we can look at a different solution for the permanent fix. Fred has also been notified the site is operational as Plano will want to know, he was also unaware that I didn't have a key for the D-Star cabinet, when I get access we can resolve power on that system as well.

More battery power info 3
Images attached of Jerry's setup. Sound like you'r charging setup is working just fine. I usuallly let the charge taper down to 1-2 amps. I actually have mine on a timer. On at 8am and off at 9p. Once the battery is charged up to the set voltage on your charger it won't take anymore so if you adjust the charger (PS) to a good value you can't overcharge. Putting on the timer takes it all off line when you go to bed so you don't have to worry about it during the night. Yes...10 amp charger needs at least a 20 amp diode. Even at 10 amps a 20 amp diode will get warm. I use 40 and 50amp for I have plenty of wiggle room. Check ebay for solar blocking diodes. diode you show is fine. Most are rated for at least 50volts so that's not an issue. Have fun.

Repeaters 4
Hi Anthony, That's correct, we do, Kip is also thinking we have insurance for this type of thing, can we confirm we have it and what the limits are? This could be quite expensive if we get in to repeater modules and controllers. I just happen to be at an icom dealer and can pick up a module before heading back to Dallas today, I have lots of UHF modules so only need the VHF. Miranda

Repeatera 7
Hi Board members, Early this morning the K5PRK repeaters stopped working during a skywarn operation, upon inspection today it is determined that the power supplies running the site have been destroyed, probably by lightning. Recovery is underway though the resolution path is unclear at the moment as I am out of town, due back in later tonight. I will keep the board updated as repair moves along. Miranda
