[d-star] RNC Commitment

[Erik Westgard]

I am thinking of telling our served agencies we will have five DD Mode
systems on line by 9/1 

2x Minneapolis
2X St. Paul
Minneapolis South /Airport

This will require us to raise the last $2000 or so for our last repeater. 

I have a line on a site in St. Paul

Subject: [d-star] Next Packet & Radio Workshop Sunday February 10, 2008 - SE
corner of the building.

Hello World!

Short notice again....

The next packet & radio workshop will be this Sunday February 10. I'll
be there at 9AM, but you can come when you are ready. As usual we'll go
till around 5 or 6PM. Most of the road construction is done for now and
all roads are open.

The purpose of the packet & radio workshop is to help people who are
interested in packet radio and other digital modes, or just plain need a
little help with a computer or radio related project. It isn't just for
packet. The great thing about the workshop is that we all help each other.

I provide some of the more exotic test equipment that might be needed,
you bring your project, the parts you'll need, and small hand tools. I
usually have an oscilloscope, frequency counter, signal generator, RF
power meter, dummy loads, and a spectrum analyzer. The spec-an is great
for checking receivers and transmitters. If you need to work on anything
above 1GHz, please let me know in advance.

The location is 1177 Century Ave North (55119) at the Maplewood East
County Line Fire Station #1 about 1.5 miles north of I-94. Century Ave
is the same as Highway 120 and it is on the east side of the 3M Center
complex. If you found the Tailgate Swapfest site, you just continue east
to Century Ave and then go north to the fire station.

If you want a map, Google search for:
   1177 Century Ave N, 55119
If you look for the 80 foot tower on the roof, it will be hard to miss.

There will be a change in the room we use. We will be using the wash bay
and old kitchen in the south-east corner of the station this time.
Park in the lot on the SOUTH side of the building. Use the door on the
front (east) side of the building next to the mail box. I'll probably
park my car on the apron out front to block the garage doors to the wash
bay.

I'll have the coffee pot running and I'll probably bring some cookies or
rolls. Feel free to bring more treats. There are pop machines in the
station and a Holiday gas station store a block away. Bring your own
lunch or go out to eat. Usually we order in a pizza. We have Internet
available and cable TV to help keep kids entertained.

I hope to see you there! The next workshop will be in a few weeks. Come
this Sunday and help choose some dates.

73, Doug Reed, N0NAS.
