Alright, I got straight up. CQ CQ CQ calling the RV Radio Network Multi-Mode Echo Lake Net. The internet control station for today is K4HM. My name is Hank and my QTH is Travelers Rest RV in Gulf resort near Dade City Florida. This is a dedicated net, a directed net. Please address all comments and quarters to this net control station. This net is sponsored by the RV Radio Network but all amateur radios with a technician's license or higher are encouraged to participate. The purpose of the net is to provide a forum for amateur radio officers sharing interest in recreational vehicles to stay in touch and share information as they travel the country. This net dates each Thursday evening at 8 PM Central time on the Southeast Link Conference node and that's part of the N4LMC Multi-Mode Network which includes the N4EDP Echo Link Repeater in Lookout Mountain Georgia and several other repeaters in the tri-state area. And we want to thank Emmet Purdue and the Tri-State Amateur Radio Club for supporting our net. For additional information about the RV Radio Network please visit our secure website at RVradionetwork.com and for information about the Tri-State Amateur Radio Club visit their site at tri-statearc.com. Since we have repeaters on the network we need to be aware that they have time out timers so please keep our transmissions to less than three minutes. That's when they typically have our set to time out and if they time out they'll drop connections, people have to reconnect and all that kind of stuff so we try to avoid that. If you're using the Windows Echo Link application there's a timer, set of timers actually up underneath the tools set up menu and you can set the transfer timer to 170 seconds that'll shut you off 10 seconds before it's dropping, it would otherwise drop the links. So it'll actually give you a tone that you can hear depending on what your Windows default is set to for your tone and you'll see a full time out timer pop up in the bottom left corner counting down the last 10 seconds if you stay on that foot long. Let me reset.
