Here are some of Bill's (N2COP) Presentation slides.

Well first of all everything went well at the State Meeting.  Bill (N2COP) and Tom (N4TAB)
presentations went very well.  Lots and Lots of information.  A new record for State Level attendance
a total of 46 guy's and gal's attending.

Tom is going to make a few go boxes for different branches of North Carolina.  Western
Branch will be one of them.  Get out you packet gear and hook it up and get ready to go.
Windmore is doing change to the program to improve Windmore.  Tom (N4TAB) plans on
helping train our folks on Windmore.  One the training is complete the box will be passed
to the next county.  Probably Start with AREA-15.

D-Star is still being used but very expense for folks to buy.  They appear to be working
well and passing needed message very fast to all parts of the State.

Good update by Colonel Tom (KC4QRP) on MARS, Tom is heavy into Air force MARS
he said that MARS has a need for more MARS Operators.  If you were involved
in MARS in the past and gave it up, think about coming back and getting involved.  MARS
could really use YOUR help.
