This week (June 24), Mike, W3MOW, is scheduled to host the WorkBench. This is time set aside for asking questions about radio theory and operation so feel free to join in! Tune in to the Workbench every Monday evening at 8 PM on 146.985 Mhz.
Before then… and after… visit 985 often! Keep the repeater warmed up and active! There’s lots of good folks and conversation around here!
There’s more than one path to the W3GMS repeater:
EchoLink and AllStar users need to be added to the appropriate permission list(s) in order to use these modes on the 146.985 repeater. There is a separate list for Echolink and another for AllStar.
To be added as an Echolink &/or AllStar user, send your request to Martha – N3QBE, at mvfell485{at}gmail.com:
For the Echolink permission list, all that is needed is your call sign. On Echolink, the 985 repeater is listed as W3GMS-R, node number 623852.
For the AllStar permission list, all that is needed is your node number. The W3GMS repeater AllStar node is 53085.
Via Broadcastify you can listen to the 985 livestream: https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/28055. (On some mobile devices, you may need to use the Broadcastify App. The livestream is delayed about 30 seconds.)
