REPEATER NEWS The 100 watt power module for the UHF repeater isn't working, but then, neither is the repeater itself. We'll probably be sending it in for repair shortly. The KA4AFI 146.98- repeater is back with a new voice ID module. It might be on the air by the time you read this. We'll probably have more info on these topics at the August meeting. de N4JAG SILENT KEY KC4RMY, Sandy Ketcham, wife of Jim, KA4AFI and mother of Jason, KC4CXZ, died on 6 August following her long battle with cancer. Funeral services and burial were conducted on 9 August in Ozark. I know that I will miss her beautiful smile and request that you all keep her family in your thoughts and prayers. Jerry, N4RYC FOR SALE If you know of anyone looking for used Ham equipment, I have some of Bob Hawk's gear left and Jim, KL0LN, knows of some 2 meter stuff for sale. Contact us for further info. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electronic Edition: Nothing much else to add this month. Hope you all have a good time at the Huntsville Hamfest. Rick - N4JAG Violence is the result of the wolves learning the sheep have no guns.
