For those interested in getting the Retivis RT95 Radios (AKA Anytone 778), the time is running out.? If you want to order one, then you need to contact Keith Hudson ASAP.? The order MUST go in.? Currently we do not have the 20 orders to get the $90 dollar price, so the price currently stands at $95.? I paid $135, so this is a good deal.

A Very Good Article For both Hams and Non-Hams

 

A Very Good Article For both Hams and Non-Hams

The next time a friend, coworker,? or family member asks about ham radio, ask them to read this article:



I think you will find it to be a very worthwhile read, especially for a non-ham.

N2QOJ-R EchoLink Node, # 185734

 

Here is the schedule for the N2QOJ-R EchoLink Node

The node will be on the default frequency of Usery 1 Repeater at all times except:

- Thursdays at 12 Noon till 12 Midnight - To Support STVN Emcomm Net on Ocotillo/STV Repeater
- Sundays from 12 Noon till 12 Midnight - To Support QCECG Emcomm Net on Ocotillo/STV Repeater

This will change in the future as I get concurrent node resources in place and have them working well independently with no co-location interference.

The ultimate goal is to have both repeaters EchoLink capable 24/7.? Since Usery 1 is the most active, it is the temporary default repeater.

I'll update as it happens.

Regards,

Joe, N2QOJ
