Subj : Kits To : RICHARD WEBB From : PETER COGGON Date : Mon May 14 2007 08:52 pm Hello Richard... -=> Quoting Richard Webb to Peter Coggon <=- RW> NO prob there. I seem to recall hearing about a system cnib had where RW> members could dial the telephone and operate the hf station as well as RW> control it via phone line and touch tones. Yes...Right on. I think the system still works for the CNIB people and there was a ham "Rudy" who really used to get on there and run it on 3755 most mornings. RW> DUring the fall and winter months I hang out on the geratol net 3668 RW> khz. I get up early enough I'll have to look on 3753 for you. Geratol net eh? 3668 okay will keep that in mind too for the fall and winter. I need Geratol these days! Is that morning? RW> IF you get on 20 meters I'm a regular net control for the nets that RW> meet there. Even when I'm not ncs I'm often monitoring, so give a call RW> on 14.3 and we'll move off and chew the rag. Ok on 14.3 will take a listen and sign in....I take it this is morning? I used to listen to 14.332 and the YL net tune-up but folks I know on packet with YL@WW just seem to be on the packet. But I will be there during my morning..yawns...and wake up exercise. I know you are with ARES, and I wonder if during your experience if you happen to hear this CERT or REACT stuff on FRS ch1. We were supposed to have a drill in our area with REACT and FRS on ch1 ... but I heard nothing. Oh well I guess there isn't the interest as in other areas. My friend and I and another CB operator here in this place run a net like that for halloween patrols, We use Ham 2meters < 2 licenced hams> < FRS ops on CH1> and our CB friend on ch 1 and ch 9 to try keep things safe, after a few years of Halloween nastys... I think it paid off, and now I know there is a plan for our region but we don't seem to hear from them, which is strange.? Oh well...that was only a thought to close on...sorry it was so long and confusing, but thats our area. 73 Peter VE3WBZ RW> Regards, RW> Richard RW> ...
