At the last DeKalb ARES meeting: We discussed how to create a GO-KIT for use away from your home QTH. We looked at a complete unit that incorporated both voice and packet communications. The whole unit was housed in an "off the shelf" tool box which offers a low cost beginning to making your unit. The discussion led to a demonstration of Winlink via the W4PME-10 gateway station located on the AT&T tower downtown Atlanta. The antenna we used was a 1/4 wave mag mount model placed near a window that actually faced away from the gateway site. We also had three first-time visitors to our meeting, George (KI4DSO), Jim (N4RAR) and John (KI4ESV) who has just joined DeKalb ARES. WELCOME ALL! At the next DeKalb ARES meeting: Next meeting will be September 20, 2008. The plans for the upcoming SET, to be head in conjunction with DeKalb Fire/Rescue CERT exercises on October 3rd will be discussed. Please join us.
