Al,
AK> Our club Meriden Amateur Radio Club has gone to online business and
AK> activity meetings using JTSI. They also do a Saturday morning Coffee
AK> Club Net on the local 2 meter repeater and some do a "social
AK> distancing" 2 meter fox hunt on Saturday morning. This has kept our
AK> members active. We've also have a mini edtion of our newsletter called Key
AK> Klix QRP. There are nets on 6, 10 and 2 meters durning the week to keep
AK> the area members and non members active.
I have noticed an uptick in net checkins, since COVID-19 really kicked in.
My license exam team will resume exams in September, but it'll be a "low
contact, in person session", with COVID-19. Everyone will be required to
have masks, and I'll provide the VE's with gloves.
AK> It looks like we will be working like this until sometime next year.
AK> Our local club is being used by the Health Department as the EOC and
AK> we've been told we can not have access to it for the forseeable future.
The local library had cancelled all activities for 2020, but kept my group
on the calendar. I'm waiting for final approval from the libary.
Sorry for the delay in replying...the main BBS computer had a power supply and
hardware failure 6 weeks ago. I tried to get a hardware upgrade, but the CPU's
nowadays only will take 64-bit systems. Thankfully, my late Mom's computer is
32-bit, so the BBS has found a new home.
