I don't think anybody would mind if we get started a few seconds early. CQ CQ CQ calling the R&D Radio Network, multi-mode Echoing Met. Your net control station for today is K4HM. My name is Hank. My QTH is Travelers Rest RV and Golf Resort near Dade City, Texas. Oh yeah, Texas, Florida. Near Dade City, Florida. This is a directed net. The purpose of this net is to provide a forum for all MS Radio operators who share an interest in recreational vehicles to exchange information and stay in touch as they travel the country. This net feeds each Thursday evening at 8 p.m. Central Time on the Southeast Link Conference node and it's linked to the N4LMC multi-mode network which includes a W4EDP repeater in Lookout Mountain, Georgia and there's several others tied to it in the tri-states area. We thank him at Purdue and the tri-state parameter radio club for supporting our net with the use of that equipment. For additional information about the RV Radio Network, please visit our secure website at rvradiodetwork.com and please for information about the Tri-State parameter Radio Club, please visit their website at tri-statesarc.com. Like I said, there's repeaters tied to the network so we have to be cognizant of the timers on those repeaters. They will time out after three minutes and drop connections so let's keep our transmissions to less than three minutes. If you're using the Windows Echo Link application, there's a timer up under your setup menu that you can set to transit for I'd say 170 seconds and that way it will drop you 10 seconds ahead of the time out period so you'll keep you from dropping the repeaters. Alright, so is there anybody out there that has, we're not in traffic yet so we don't try to handle emergency or priority traffic if there's any of that but any other traffic we don't try to handle. If you've got any emergency or priority traffic or any announcements or if you just need to be in and out short time, please call K4H in at this time.
