For those that might be interested in monitoring, there is a Hurricane Watch Net active on 14.325Mhz and 7.268Mhz. I haven't heard much of anything yet, but thought I'd pass it along.

We’ll be set up at the Farmers Market Saturday from 9-1, located in the parking lot of Endurance Church. Come by and visit if you can! I have a ”new-to-me” low band coil I want to tune and try on my buddi-stick. The bands might not cooperate but I’ll get to tune it!

The Allstar and Echolink node has been installed on the 444.425 repeater, which is linked to the 145.250 repeater. We’ll probably have some fine tuning to do, but give it a try. Allstar node number is 61749. I don’t know what the Echolink node number is, but you should be able to find it by searching W0HCA-R. Also, the ARES net will be at 7pm this evening! Hope everyone can join.

Monthly club meeting is tonight at 6PM. Hope everyone can be there!!

Field Day is quickly approaching, and we'll be finalizing plans at the monthly club meeting Tuesday June 11. Below is a link to to the rules for this years events. Look over them when you have a chance. It will probably help us make plans at the meeting. https://contests.arrl.org/ContestRules/Field-Day-Rules.pdf Eric, KD0CEN

ARES Net tonight at 7:00PM on the 145.250 repeater!

Fox Hunt tomorrow (Sunday) at 2:30pm. Frequency will be 145.300Mhz. We can communicate info as needed on the 444.425 repeater, which will also make it to the 145.250 repeater. I find the 444.425 around town is pretty easily reached from a portable from within the city limits of West Plains, which happens to be where the fox will be located! Hope everyone can join us for the fun! If you have questions or comments, please chime in! Eric

I have been asked about the delay in receiving call signs from the FCC for the students that tested in our class. Terry called the ARRL, which is the VEC we use, who confirmed what I feared. The ARRL had a cyber attack last week which has rendered most, maybe all, of their computer systems inoperable. They’ve been very vague with sharing details, but hope it’s resolved soon. At this point, I think the only thing we can do is wait a little while longer. Terry and I discussed the possibility of maybe trying to file the paperwork through another VEC, but at this point that might duplicate things and who knows what else. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and wish there was something we could do, but think holding tight just a little longer might be the best option we have. Terry is going to continue to call them seeking time frames and possible solutions. I’m sure an organization the size of the ARRL is getting overran with questions and vigorously working on solutions. Eric KD0CEN

In case you missed it, HH has simplified our numbers and the old numbers will be deactivated in under a month. We must make changes in order for our HH phones to continue working. Following is the notice from HH: We are writing to you to let you know that Hamshack Hotline is migrating away from 10-digit extension numbers and replacing them with 7-digit extension numbers. This means that all existing 10-digit extensions are being converted to 7-digits. For example, if your current extension number is '6100000125', your new extension number will be '6100125'. Your new 7-digit extension number has already been created on the HHUS server and is ready for use! Here is what you will need to do: For users that have an IAX2 trunk extension: You will need to modify your setup, and remove three of the zeros from the middle of your 10-digit USERNAME so it becomes a 7-digit number. Click here for Trunk setup instructions: For users with a hard phone: In order to use your new extension, you will need to re-provision your phone. Click here for phone provisioning instructions: Please remember that re-provisioning your phone will erase any manual changes and customization you have done. So you may have to re-enter custom changes after re-provisioning. For those who are savvy enough, you can skip auto-provisioning and go into your phones UI, locate your extension number field, and remove three of the zeros from the middle of your 10-digit extension number, making it a 7-digit number and then save those settings. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE PASSWORD FIELD. For all users: You will have 30 days to change over to your new 7-digit extension number. We will deactivate all 10-digit extensions on the HHUS server 30 days from today. Phone book and map updates have already been made. We truly hope the new 7-digit numbers will be easier to remember and make using Hamshack Hotline more enjoyable. Should you still have any questions please login to your Help-Desk account and create a General Inquiry service ticket. Thank you, The Hamshack Hotline Team
