We are re-sheduling the training to Monday and Tuesday @ 7pm.

We now have a site for any trained spotters interested in joining our bmxspotterchat room.

Our policy and instructions are here: http://www.alert-alabama.org/spotterchat

We will also have an online training session for the people that sign up to be in the spotter chat. it will be held tuesday and wednesday at 7 pm?

Also Darone and Jody have distributed the link to spotters so hopefully we’ll get some hits and new spotters in the room soon!

A new video on the use of D-STAR by the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) is available on YouTube.

(Because this link is pointed to a video hosted by someone else it’s possible the link could get broken but if you search the hosted site for that title you’ll proably find the updated link.)

Due to expected Weather the online meeting is canceled for tonight.

Severe Weather is expected Thursday… this will be an excellent opportunity to check out the online chat.
I just sent the latest instructions for setting that up including how to enable sounds in the chat rooms… if you have any questions just email, catch me in the rooms, IM, or call me.We have also scheduled another Chat training/Q&A on October 23rd @ 7pm, this means you need to have the chat up and running via the instructions emailed tonight to participate.

Right now we only have about half the number from ALERT we were looking for so you have my permission to harass anyone that hasn’t joined it yet!!
