Announcements: From Net Announcements, American Legion National Commander Bill Oxford’s comments on Memorial Day. Topic of discussion was boot camp/basic training memories.

Thursdays at 7 pm CST, K5TAL hosts an all-digital net via a service called Quadnet Array (www.openquad.net). This service allows any form of digital voice to be routed so DMR users can hear D-Star and C4FM Fusion, D-Star can hear everyone, as can C4FM users. It also allows DV Dongle users to communicate likewise. The net is listed on the www.openquad.net website. You can listen to the HF 80 meter by going to www.n4dkd.com and enter the frequency and LSB. If you have an Apple device, there is a box to the right to enable audio for IOS.

Location for all net times was discussed and direction to www.legion.org/hamradio was provided.
