REPEATER NEWS I've been asked to remind everyone of the club policy of identifying yourself with your callsign both before and after using the phone patch. The automatic ID of the AutoDial is not enough. It doesn't take long to say "This is N4ZZZ using the phone patch" before you bring it up and "This is N4ZZZ clear of the phone patch" when you're done, or words to that effect. (Please - don't say "N4ZZZ".) de N4JAG ========================== Electronic Edition: Another reminder that the EARS Cookout will be held this Saturday (tomorrow) 10 July. QTH of WA4WQW near the intersection of 167 and 125 north of Enterprise. We'll start gathering anytime after lunch and will cook late afternoon or early evening. Any other Hams in the area that you would like to invite? Please do! They don't have to be members of EARS. I've added a few new links on the EARS web site. Check it out at http://www.snowhill.com/~rickpal/ears.htm then go to the "Amateur Related Links" page or the "Other Misc Links" page. Don't forget our breakfast meetings each Saturday at Dotties in Enterprise at 7 AM or Ann's in Ozark at 8. Hope to see you at the cookout and the meeting. -- Rick - N4JAG Practice makes perfect. But if nobody's perfect, why practice? Personal Home Page & PGP Public Key at: http://www.snowhill.com/~rickpal Visit the Enterprise Amateur Radio Society at: http://www.snowhill.com/~rickpal/ears.htm
