2012 meeting history

January 2013's meeting focused on NTS, and the use and setup of the county field kits. We discovered a number of areas where we could contribute improvements.

The agenda for March 2013 had to be changed at the last minute due to the unavailability of the equipment under discussion. Instead, we discussed setting up an ad-hoc cross-band repeater with the Yaesu FT-8800 among other minor topics.
