Commerical- Don't have time before coming to the meeting to have dinner? Or are you still hungry or thirsty?

If you're just thirsty or want to sip on something during the meeting, They also offer a wide range of both cold, hot and adult beverages. All reasonably priced and delivered with a smile.
Return to NETWORK Feed:? The network feed everyone has been listening to on W?VFW 145.27 repeater has been off and on the last 2 weeks. (icing on th e repeater antenna during the past week has caused some de-sense requiring ALLSTAR disconnect and a dose of sunshine) ? The Blind Hams talk group, D-star Reflector, and Allstar node... all bridged together.Allstar 50631, DMR Brandmeister 31679, and D-STAR DCS679A. This includes the Blind Hams Digital net, held twice weekly,Thursdays at 9:00 PM Eastern, and Saturdays at 10:00 AM Eastern. The Allstar and DSTAR bridges to DMR are
provided by KE4DYI. As this is a world-wide, multi-mode bridge, this is not a regional talk group. The servers and equipment for bridging are located in the NYC area. It is also streaming at:?
Also in the News:? Recent W?VFW 145.27 Repairs have included replacing an external 145.27 filter and "Wireman low loss cable P/N CQ106" (38 inches) from the Transmitter to the duplexer with a W8LM home brew? 3/4 wave length of RG-223 double shielded cable. That increased duplexer output from 18 to 28 watts. Or reduced losses from TX to Duplexer output from 4.4 dB to 2.44 dB. Theory being multiple 1/4 waves are required to best match duplexer input.
