GSARC Repeaters Access
Due to constant interference on the GSARC Repeater network it was suggested to implement PL tone on all the receivers. This was brought before the membership at the March 2008 meeting in the form of a motion and the results of the vote was unanimous to comply with, one condition was to have the PL tone of 85.4 Hz announced. Effective April 1, 2008 this change will be implemented. Please pass this information to all on any nets you may check into whether they are local or otherwise.

Sunday Night Net
Frequency Change
At the May
2007 Monthly Club meeting the membership unanimously voted to keep the
proposed change for the Sunday Night Net to be continuously held on the 147.330 (PL tone 85.4Hz)
repeater.
The currently
scheduled Noon Time Net that is held at 12:30 on each Wednesday has
had very little activity and it was to decided to
continue but without a scheduled Net Control Station. With that
being stated, if you are available around that time just give a shout
and enjoy the camaraderie of whomever joins in.

Check Your License ! ! !
Don't get caught short. KF4CJE, Jim sent me an email and asked that I post the following link. http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/amateur/licensing/renewal.html He apparently like most of us have not checked the expiration date on our FCC Amateur Radio License lately and he had to do a quick renewal, thanks to the technologies of today he was able to comply with this online and said it was a breeze. I have taken the liberty to check all members call sign with the FCC site to see when your license expires and the list below is the result. I will attempt to keep the list available and as the months approach I will alert you.
