[SWAPNET] Austin SwapNet Newsletter 04/20/2025
---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jeff Schmidt <jeffn5mnw@...> Date: Sun, Apr 20, 2025 at 11:27?PM Subject: [SWAPNET] Austin SwapNet Newsletter 04/20/2025 To: SWAPNET List Member <SWAPNET@...> Please use and/or forward the enclosed Austin SwapNet Newsletter .pdf as you see fit. ? ? ? Thanks! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? MNW Jeff Featured in this week's edition: ?Changes upcoming for SwapNet email distribution!?? ? We are planning to use Groups.io as the ¡°new¡± conduit and are in debug/eval mode. ?If you have words of wisdom, please share! ? Rollout timing will be announced in this newsletter. ? ? The SwapNet Newsletter will remain a one-way ¡°bulletin¡± style email with the same .pdf enclosure and (relatively) high signal-to-noise ratio¡ ?:0) ? I¡¯m sure there will be issues but hope they will be few, addressable and surmountable. ? The changeover will be easier if you¡¯re already using Groups.io. ? ? The on-air SwapNet and resultant Newsletter has been a proud Austin tradition and has a rich history. ? The "net" started around 1974 with some young upstarts who supported *gasp* VHF Repeater operations. ? It¡¯s been held on the AARC Flagship station 146.940 all this time. ? ? The newsletter had its beginnings with on-air VHF AX-25 Packet Bulletin Boards and early dial-up BBS's. It has morphed from a simple text summary of the "Haves & Wants" lists to include a fairly exhaustive detailing of local and the occasional non-local Ham Radio swapmeets, conventions and activities. ? If you haven't looked at it in a while, please give it a thorough review and let me know if it needs polishing! :0) ? This guy- N5MNW began doing SwapNet NCS in 1994, following in the gigantic footsteps of W5FQR, WA5LHS, WD5N and numerous others.? I try -real hard- to do well and honor their examples & memories(some are SK's) |
