Announcements: From Aug Net Announcements: National Commander’s updates, 31 July, 2020, “Last year, The American Legion was proud to invite the president of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen, to address the delegates at our national convention. It was just another chapter in our longstanding and warm relationship with this close ally. I want to once again thank Taiwan for its recent donation of 2500,000 medical masks presented to The American Legion on July 28. The masks are the kind of gifts that can save the lives of veterans and others who are especially vulnerable to the novel coronavirus.”
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.
For God and Country
