PLEASE NOTE!
The K0JEB-R node that was connected to the repeater we operate on (W1NLC/146.67) has moved to 147.06 (W1DX).
A new node K0JEB-L has been linked to 146.67.
Also, our previous Alternate Repeater (W1NLC/146.97) has been transitioned to Digital. We will now operate 147.470 simplex as a backup frequency.
If you are stuck at home during this crisis, don’t forget to join us on the air!
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 7PM local on 146.67. The repeater is not currently linked to Norwich, but is available via Echolink on K0JEB-R.
Also, there is a Wellness Net going on daily (thanks to Tri-City!) at 1PM local on 147.06.
If you still need more on-air time, start the bacon and eggs and check out the Breakfast Roundtable:
Saturdays at 8AM on 146.73 (N1NW)
Also a big congratulations to all of the new operators from the recent Tech class!
