VE3CBA - Don, appointed as Net Manager, taking over from Ken, VA3KEW, who remains as Net Liasion with OPN. Thanks to Ken for a great job getting the nets organized and maintained, and to Don for "volunteering" to take on the role.
Continued training for communication operation modes for ARES Response. April meeting attended by 12 operators. Topic was SSTV on HF and VHF/UHF frequencies, using MMSSTV software program. Very good night. Local VHF
frequencies now alive with digital chirps and pictures.
Two remaining "modes" will be addressed in May/June. IRLP and AirMail (Internet via RF).
Plans for a Field Day Exercse are also being formulated.
One of the local repeaters is getting a new controller in time for the CanWarn season. Up/Down-linking to the ULR system will once again be possible on the VE3UGB repeater in the next month.
