Matt,
I believe it is only the Hollis 440 repeater that is down but it is the “Hub” that links the other repeaters together. The problem is that members call into the net from different repeaters and without the Hollis hub we would not hear each other.
Wow, more extra class operators that the rest of the Amateur Radio community in the US by ALOT! Thanks for posting this Wayne!
Dave,
I am not familiar with the PyCharm IDE – I use the IDE from https://www.python.org/ . They have lots of documentation on their website. Also you can google anything that you want to do and someone has posted instructions on how to do it.
I also have a few books on Python that I can recommend (or let you borrow), depending on what you are trying to do.
Ed,
We will be teaching an Extra class that weekend. We’ll have a station setup for demos so we’ll try to listen for you.
More details on the field day meeting on March 5, can be found at this link to the club calendar entry.
Thanks, Brian for sending out the notification.
To all club members, we’re sorry about the late notification. We hope everyone made it home safely in the snow.
Hamilton,
The Envelopes that we use for International QSL cards come from http://www.airmailpostage.com . There are 2 sizes, one for the return envelope and one that we put the return envelope, green stamps, and QSL card in. For domestic QSL cards we use # 6 3/4 envelopes with privacy pattern inside the envelope.
When you are sending for a DX QSL, check the station’s QRZ page to see what they require for payment. Generally we send green stamps but make sure you hide them well in the envelope as some countries have mail theft. We generally avoid IRCs as they can no longer be purchased in the US. Occasionally one is required by the station you are QSLing – you can generally find them on eBay. Some countries cannot accept Green Stamps (India comes to mind) so if there is no OQRS, the other option is to purchase stamps for that country to put on the SAE. The site above that we purchase the envelopes from also sells stamps for many countries.
