CQ, CQ, CQ, calling the RV Radio Network Multimode Echolinknet. The internet control station for today is K4HM. My name is Hank and my QTH is in Jemisin, Alabama at the Manuka RV and ATV, I guess we'll call it, campground. This is a directed net. Please address all comments and queries to the control center. This net is sponsored by the RV Radio Network, but all amateurs with a technician class license or higher are encouraged to participate. The purpose of the day 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 beats each Thursday evening at 8 p.m. Central Time on the Southeast Link Conference node, linked to the N4 LMC Multimode Network, which includes the W4EDP repeater in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, and several other repeaters in the tri-state area. We want to thank Emmett Purdue and the tri-state campus 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 www.RVRadiodetwork.com, and for information about the Triscates Energy Radio Club, please visit their website at www.triscatesarc.com. As I mentioned, there are repeaters tied to this network, repeaters do have time-out timers, so let's be aware of that, the timers are typically set for three minutes, so we do not want to time that out. If you're using the Windows application for NetLogger, you'll find under the Tools menu, Setup menu, you'll find a set of timers. The top one, I think it is, is a transmit timer. You can set that, I suggest it, to 170 seconds. That'll give you a 10 second margin to drop your PTT 10 seconds before the repeater timer's time out. That way you won't cause two repeaters to disconnect. All right, let me reset. This is repeater station Kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. Marsan No. 6222. Located in Kilo, Washington. Also if you have any announcements that you need to make, or if you need to leave early, check out any of those, please call K-4HM at this time.
