Okay, I've got 9 o'clock straight up. CQ CQ CQ, it's on the ROV Radio Network, Echo Lake Multimode Net. This is your Net Control Station K4HM. My name is Hank and my QTH is Sandy Shores Campground near Meares, Michigan, right on the coast of Lake Michigan. This is a directed net. Please address all comments and queries. This is Net Control Station. This is sponsored by the ROV Radio Network. But all amateur radios with a technician class license or higher are encouraged to participate. The purpose of this net is to provide a forum for amateur radio operators who wish to share and interest in recreational vehicles to exchange information as they stay in touch and travel across the country. This net meets each Thursday evening at 8 p.m. Central Time on the Southeast Link Conference node linked to the N4LMC Multimode Network. And that includes the NIVI4 EDPA link repeater and the lookout mount in Georgia and several other repeaters in the tri-state area. And we'd like to thank Emmett Perdue and the Tri-State Carrier Club for sponsoring our net for the use of their equipment. For additional information about the ROV Radio Network, please visit our secure website at rvradialnetwork.com. And for additional information about the Tri-State Amateur Radio Club, please visit their website at tri-statesarc.com. As I mentioned, there are some repeaters on the network. So repeaters have time-out timers. Let's try not to time them out. If you're using the Windows Echo Lake application, you have a task set of timers up under the tools set up menu. And you can set your transit timer there to, I recommend 170 seconds. That's 10 seconds before it times the repeater out. And also it will pop up an alarm tone and a pop-up timer if you have the window set big enough in the lower left-hand corner that will start a 10-second countdown. Of course, that will start in 160 seconds. Okay, let me reset before I time it out.
