7pm CDT – 8:00 pm CDT
Year 1, Week 7

NCS for this week’s Digital Voice Net was Lee K5CUB operating C4FM thru Openspot located at Laurence K9EYZ.

Announcements: American Legion membership eligibility dates revision was read verbatim: extending American Legion membership to any veteran who had honorable service from Dec. 7, 1941, to a date to be determined in the future. This opens membership and American Legion benefits to an additional [4+] million veterans.

101ST American Legion Convention starts 23 Aug and goes thru 27 Aug. K9TAL will be on EchoLink “TALARC” conference node daily from 1330Z till 1830Z.

Other nets were discussed. All nets can be seen, as well as the net reports, by going to www.legion.org/hamradio.

If you have a digital voice-capable radio D-Star, C4FM, Wires-X or DMR, and would like to join next Thursday’s net, all information can be found at www.openquad.net. NOTE: The C4FM reflector will not be operational till mid-September due to its being moved from its current location in NM to TX. C4FM can still be used thru an OpenSpot=type device.
