Check-ins: KE4CUN Frank N4TET Dennis KC4KRY Tom W4XO Lex AK4MC Kevin KD4WNB Chris W8PWP Tony Kevin AK4MC spoke about some updates he's made to the cowetaares.org website: ====== * The information about the weekly nets, which had referred to the WX4ACS repeater, now refers correctly to the BGMRC repeater, with 146.79 as backup. * A considerable amount of information previously stored on the site that is available in more up-to-date form elsewhere, has been removed and the site now links to those offsite resources at ARRL.org and FEMA.gov. * The MOU with Coweta EMA and the most recent Coweta ARES SOP are still on the site and are still linked from the main page. Technical reference documents for a couple of antennas and describing the Anderson power pole connectors are still on the site as well by way of the "General Reference Library" link. * Links to Coweta EMA and Georgia ARES websites have been added to the main page. * I've established a page at Blogspot.com (CowetaARES.blogspot.com) where Coweta ARES announcements, such as the weekly net recaps, will be posted once they're ready. If you go to CowetaARES.org and click on "Announcements, Etc." you'll be taken to that page. This way if someone has missed a net and perhaps not received an email through the Coweta ARES reflector, they should still be able to find it. I expect to have information regarding SATERN on the site fairly soon. -AK4MC ======= Respectfully submitted, Chris McGehee, KL0UD From kl0udchris at mcgehee.cc Sun Jul 8 20:39:35 2007 From: kl0udchris at mcgehee.cc (kl0udchris@mcgehee.cc) Date: Sun Jul 8 20:40:30 2007 Subject: [Bgmrc-list] net Message-ID: <20070708203935.0evq0i7qgo8kww04@mcgeheezone.com> Coweta ARES/RACES net 2100 hrs 145.13 rptr -- backup if needed is 146.79 -- de KL0UD From kl0udchris at mcgehee.cc Sun Jul 15 20:40:06 2007 From: kl0udchris at mcgehee.cc (kl0udchris@mcgehee.cc) Date: Sun Jul 15 20:40:43 2007 Subject: [Bgmrc-list] net Message-ID: <20070715204006.6hma5l9qo8ksckkw@mcgeheezone.com> Coweta ARES/RACES net 2100 hrs 145.13 rptr -- backup if needed is 146.79 -- de KL0UD From mcgehee at mcgehee.cc Wed Jul 18 11:40:38 2007 From: mcgehee at mcgehee.cc (McGehee) Date: Wed Jul 18 11:40:57 2007 Subject: [Bgmrc-list] Net Recaps: 7/8 & 7/15 Message-ID: <469E3476.3040905@mcgehee.cc> 7/7: Net began at 2100 hrs Check-ins: * KL0UD Chris, Net Control * W8PWP Tony * KC4KRY Tom * KI4MKP Frank * KD4LXU Dave * WD4IIW Frank * AK4MC Kevin, by relay No announcements or other traffic.

This should keep it from keying up all of the time from the Atlanta D-Star users. It will not, however, eliminate interference to users of the Pine Mountain repeater. Anyway, this is better than what we have had...which was a repeater that stays keyed with nothing to hear and a bunch of frequency coordinators that don't care. Hope to catch you all on the Pine Mountain machine sometime! Barry K4SGT ***************************************************************** Dear Fellow Radio Amateurs, Just to let you know that the FCARC repeater shack that was at the old repeater site on Hilo Road (Mrs. McDowell's property) was removed today and the site cleaned up. I want to thank Alan, KI4SZP, Jim, K4GVO, and Steve, KA2PWZ for helping out. With the removal of the tower and shack we have effectively cleared the property, but I will still do a walk-through with Mrs. McDowell in a few weeks to make sure all issues are taken care of. It has been a long road, but we've finally made one of our key milestones in our plan to improve service to our club members. I want to thank each and every one of you who generously contributed to the tower removal fund and helped with tower removal activities. Without you this would not have happened as quickly and effortlessly as it did. You all get a heartfelt thanks and a big 'Attaboy!' from your esteemed club president :-). Now, looking forward... Many of you have commented about the poor coverage the 145.210 repeater currently provides. We are (painfully) aware of the issue. David, AG4ZR, is spearheading the Ellis Road tower effort and is moving it forward as fast as possible. I ask all of you to be patient and understanding regarding the current coverage of the 145.210 repeater; just as soon as we can execute the move we will. However, the reality is that we are at the mercy of the State government and are working on their time schedule. We will put out more information just as soon as it becomes available, but I can assure you the Ellis Road tower move will be both exciting and challenging. Again thanks, and I'll see you on the radio! 73, Brian W8BYH
