Wide Area Network Repeater System W3WAN

https://www.facebook.com/groups/allstarlinknetwork/?ref=share This was a group I was discussing last night. They seem to come up with some good hints and tricks for nodes and more. 73

Anyone know the repeater info for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton PA? I used to have it, but lost the frequency during a reprogram. 73, KC3KRE

By orders of the Warren County Department of Public Safety our Hamfest tomorrow on 3-14-20 at the Youngsville, PA Fire Hall has been canceled due to concerns of... the Covid19 virus. We will attempt to reschedule the event at a later date. We'd also like to thank everyone for your interest in the Warren County Hamfest, support of Venturing Crew 73 and hope to see everyone later in the year. Russ Bush, N3YD Crew 73 Advisor

PRESS RELEASE From United Nations ARC, 4U1UN New York, March.04.2020... YASME FOUNDATION IS RECOGNIZING THE KEY PEOPLE BEHIND RE-ACTIVATING 4U1UN The project took over four years to complete; James Sarte, K2QI and Adrian Ciuperca, KO8SCA are the key amateur operators who worked on the project and as such they will be the recipients of the Yasme Excellence Award 2020. The team used a slick in-house remote concept, whereby the station is located at the 42nd floor while the control head is located on the ground floor of the UN Headquarters in New York City. ARRL Hudson Division Director Ria Jairam N2RJ and Yasme Director Martti Laine OH2BH will be jointly presenting the Yasme award at the UN Headquarters in New York City on Friday, March 6, 2020. This ceremony will be topped with the first-ever FT8 QSO from 4U1UN with its inventor Joe Taylor, K1JT at the controls. First twenty-five QSOs will be awarded by U.N special certificate signed by Joe. What perfect timing! following the ceremony the group of K2QI, G6CBR, N2RJ, OH2BH, KO8SCA and VE7NY will activate 4U1UN in the ARRL DX SSB Contest. By the way, this will be a much more complex exercise than you might imagine, since, for security reasons, the operators will need to be escorted at all times by the UN security officers. See you in the air! QSL via HB9BOU.
