We have started to combine the Information Net, usually held on the Monday
nights we do not have meetings, with the ARES Net on Tuesday nights.  The
net time is 8:30pm on our 146.655 repeater. We hope this will increase
check-ins for ARES.

ARES of Cleveland County held it\\\'s first Meeting for 2012 on January 26th at the EOC in Cleveland County.  I reviewed all of our accomplishments since 2008 and areas that we need to work on and improve in.  We had a brief discussion of S.E.T goals for 2012, Discussed the upcoming Catawba Nuclear Drill and an upcoming 5k Run we\\\'ve been asked to help with.  We also had two new hams register to become part of ARES.

We had our first DRATS only net on our DSTAR VHF repeater and it went pretty well.  All communication was done keyboard to keyboard.  There were at least 12 stations on frequency at the same time chatting with one another.  The net report was sent as a file from the \\\'control\\\' to the net manager over the air.

73 to all and God Bless

N4RII has dropped most of his regular activities for health reasons. This also impacts XYL, KD5IGT.
The 146.85 repeater has been down for 3 weeks. Net activities in simplex mode on output freq not very productive - N Wilkesboro repeater often provides some stiff competition.

Greetings !

The month of January, we had a total of 551 check-ins on all nets and a total of
41 pieces of traffic processed.  I am currently getting ready to put the Pactor
3 TNC Modem on the air.  Hopefully by the end of February, the Pactor 3 will be on the air.  I am planning to be using the modem on the up coming Catawba Nuclear Drill.
We are establishing a good working relationship with North Carolina Army MARS using our new MARS Agency License ( AAN4ZA-8 ) that was issued to the Mecklenburg County EOC.
