Alright, I think it's close enough. Let's go ahead and get started here. CQ CQ CQ, calling the RME Radio Network Multi-Mode Echo Link Net. The net control station for today is K4HM. My name is Hank. My QTH is now Travelers Rest Campground near Dane City, Florida. I'm down around here just today. This is a directed net. Please address all comments and queries to this net control station. This net is sponsored by the RME Radio Network and all amateur or technician class licensed or higher are encouraged to participate. The net purpose of this net is to provide a forum for amateur radio operators who share an interest in recreational vehicles to exchange information and stay in touch with travel and country. This net beats each Thursday evening at 8 PM Central Time on the Southeast Link Conference Node. Next, I'll link to the N4LMC network with including the W4EDP Echo Link Repeater and Lookout Mountain Georgia and several repeaters in the tri-state area. We thank Emmett Purdue and the FASTA famous Radio Club for supporting our net with the use of this net. For additional information about the RME Radio Network, please visit our secure website at RVradioNetwork.com and for information about the Tri-State amateur Radio Club, visit their website at TriStatesARC.com. As I mentioned, there are some repeaters on this network, so the repeaters have time out timers. Let's try to keep our transmissions below three minutes. If you're using the Windows application for DecoLink, there's a convenient timer up on the set up menu, Tools, Set Up and Look For Timers and you can set your transmit timer, I suggest 170 seconds. It'll give you an additional, that's 10 seconds before the three minute timer and it'll give you an additional 10 seconds warning with a tone that will play depending on how your set up on your computer is, your default tone and it will, if your set up is large enough, it'll pop up with a little 10 second countdown timer to the time it's going to drop you, which is what if you have it set to, of course, and if you set it to 170 seconds, it'll be 10 minutes to spare so it does not drop three connections. Let me reset before I drop them here.
