K5TAL DIGITAL NET SEP 24

K5TAL TALARC Digital Voice Net
Sep 24, 2020
7 pm CDT – 8 pm CDT
Year 2, Week 11

NCS for this week’s Digital Voice Net was WV5Q NCS using QuadNet Array on 45058. We are finding this platform an incredible opportunity to tell amateur radio operators about The American Legion, TALARC, SAL and Legion Riders. We had decided to split the net as some members are still having difficulty being able to hear other stations.

Announcements: National Commander Bill Oxford’s comments from 4 September were read: “In addition to advocating for veterans every day in the halls of Congress, The American Legion is constantly serving communities across America and overseas. In August alone, your American Legion Operation Comfort Warriors program awarded $46,000 in grants to help meet the needs of wounded, injured or ill military personnel. Additionally, The American Legion awarded $116,771 in national youth scholarships; and $13,100 was awarded in National Emergency Fund grants to assist individual members and posts of The American Legion in the aftermath of natural disasters. Veterans benefits claims specialists from The American Legion had 202 appeals ruled in favor of the veteran. Not bad for one month’s work.

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.
