National commander’s visit to Post 1992 on Feb. 20: National Commander Brett Reistad spoke to the K5TAL net between eating and the ceremonies at Post 1992. Lee Johnston K5CUB placed a telephone call to Don Rand KA5DON, who was conducting the K5TAL net. Reistad made laudatory comments to the service hams provide during events, special events and disaster responses. He shared that his hobby/passion is collecting and restoring 1930s and 1940s receivers, and said that in the future, after his term as national commander, he may look into getting his ham license. He also relayed that so far he has traveled to 24 states, and personally sees the growth of the TALARC group as more vets he meets introduce themselves as TALARC members. YAHOO!!! We pulled it off – whew.
Discussed all net times, frequencies and location on legion.org/hamradio. We will continue to call the K5TAL Net on 3.834 +-5 starting at 6:30 CST.
Discussed methods to check into the K5TAL Wednesday evening net as being via EchoLink by text to KA5DON – RMS TRIMODE GATEWAY to ka5don@winlink.org – D-STAR via REF58B Quick Key, – C4FM & DMR in the near future.
Discussed n4dkd.com web SDR as a tool to listen to the net by inserting the frequency of 3827 LSB into the appropriate boxes, and checking in via one of the alternative check-in methods discussed above.
