CQ CQ CQ, Columbia RV Radio Network, Multimode, Echo Lake Net. Your station, control station for tonight is K4HM. My name is Hank. My location is Traveler's West RV and Golf Resort near Dade City, Florida. This is a directed net. Please address all comments and queries to this deck control station. This net is sponsored by the RV Radio Network, but all amateurs with a technician's license or higher are encouraged to participate. The 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 as we travel 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, which includes W4EDP Echo Link computer in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, and several other repeaters in the tri-state area. And we thank him at Purdue, W4EPEDP for the Jurassic Amateur Radio Club for supporting our net with the use of the network. For additional information about the RV Radio Network, please visit our website at RVRadioNetwork.com. And for information about the Tri-State Amateur Radio Club, visit their website at TriStatesARC.com. As I said, there are some repeaters on this network, so let's try to keep our transitions below three minutes to keep from timing out the links on the repeaters. And if you have the Windows application for Echo Link, there's a timer, a set of timers actually, up under the tools setup menu. And you can set that transmit timer to, I recommend, 170 seconds. It will actually give you a 10 second warning before that time with a little tone from however you got your default tone set on your computer. And if you got your window set big enough, it gives you a timer, a timer, visible on that bottom left corner for the last 10 seconds of your countdown. But if you set it for 170 seconds, that will give you a 10 second margin before you drop the links, and it will drop your PTT for you rather than timing out the timer, the links. Speaking of which, let me reset. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven. Remember, Quebec is over. All star notes... This is not a traffic map, so we don't take regular traffic, but if anybody has any emergency or priority traffic, we will try to handle it. Likewise, if you have any announcements for the net, or if you just need to be in and out, short time, something like that, please call K4HM at this time.
