Iroquois County Amateur Radio 147.030+ and 444.625+ - Meetings 2nd Thursday at the Red Cross Office in Watseka, IL

Hey Guys

Brian and Benny came up with a web site that could be of interest if you are wanting practice code or work on the upgrade for a new license.

Justin and Carl G (CD Director) have a Weather Spotter School Program set for March 30, 2005.

Kyle KC9COR has a school set for March 3, in Indiana.

I noticed that the League has some emergency communications courses. They are 8 weeks and are done over the internet. They cost $45 but if you complete the course the cost will be returned to you. If any interest lets talk about it at club meeting.

I have ordered some tapes for programs for radio meetings–I hope that they will interest the group.

We have about $375 in the club treasury.

Red Cross simplex repeater is working. GMRS repeater is working. Tim KC9FON has his GMRS license along with his father and father in law. They are easy to get but cost $80 for a five year license. Output of the repeater is 462.675 if you want to put in your scanner.

We need to select a new Vice-Pres at the next meeting.
