Birmingham D-Star Net Changes Time
The Tuesday night net on the 145.41 D-Star repeater is moving to a new time. In an attempt to accomodate more people's schedule requirements, we are moving the net to begin at 8:30PM on Tuesday nights. This will place the net between two analog nets -- The Shelby County net on 146.98(-) at 8:00 PM and the Jefferson County net on 146.88(-) at 9:00 PM. Come join us for a very informal net tomorrow night - Tuesday at 8:30 PM. ------ WB4FAY

A mid January repeater party attended by a group of hams. From left to right we have Wayne, WB4RHA, Bob, KC4AF, and Ken, KS4NX. The main repeater is lying (not in state !) on the table before it receives final enhancements before we commence testing with the remote base. Others in attendance but not in this photo include Bert, KG4BEC, Lee, KI4NMD and John, K3FP.
Thank you for your hard work on our behalf!

Mike Scott W1NDZ applied for SCARC membership and elected to the same.
The attendees were reminded that it was time for annual membership renewal.
There as no Treasurer report given. However, later in the meeting Lee Aured KI4NMD presented an itemized bill for $196.87 for the materials used to upgrade the repeater facilities. A motion was made, seconded, and voted to pay this bill.
President Rod Scott reports:
The Shelby County Merit Badge Day is Jan 27 and volunteers are needed. There are already two groups of fifteen each signed up. The event is scheduled for 08:45 – 16:45 and all members are encouraged to assist.
The FleaGate will be at Joe Tucker Park 07:00-12:00 February 17, 2007.
