K2JJI-R (EchoLink Node: 510372)

2 Comments

I (KC2UEZ) am proud to inform the members of Tryon ARC that we are now also available via the EchoLink node # 510372.

This will allow linking remote repeaters via internet, will allow ham radio operators across the world to talk in our repeater and also local ham radio operators to connect to remote repeaters.

For more information please visit: http://k2jji.org/links-of-interest/echolink/ this link will be permanently available by clicking either on the echolink logo or the word echolink to the right.

We will be performing some fine tuning as the node gets more use, please excuse any problems that this may cause.

Looking for ways to promote the hobby.

Ever since I changed my license plate to my call sign I noticed that all the traffic lights I come across are always green, snows melts in front of my tires, cute girls wave at me and I am not sure but I think I even get better gas mileage. (Actual results may vary)

I encourage the members of the club to do the same; it is a nice way to “Promote the Hobby”. In NY it is an easy process and it takes about 2 weeks. You can do it over the phone by calling (1-518-402-4838) or on the internet by going to this address: http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/emerg.htm you will need a copy of the license issued by the FCC. Of course, nothing is free and nowhere else is this more evident than here in New York. There is an initial cost for the plates of $35 and an annual plate renewal fee of $6.50 for the Ham Radio Operator plates.

Website=>Twitter=>Facebook. It all works!

You may have noticed that a bunch of weird posts came across Twitter and were on the main page of this website for a little while tonight. This was because, I was troubleshooting how we could get posts from this website to go to Twitter then to our Facebook page without anyone having to post it more than once. I can say that as of right now, it’s all working fine and dandy. More
