Announcements: From Aug. Net Announcements: National Commander’s updates, 30 July, 2020: “Alaska is remote from the rest of our states, but Legionnaires at Post 5 in Seward are
very connected to their community. The American Legion Family there has provided substantial
food donations and facemasks to those in need since the middle of March. In addition to free
breakfasts for the community’s frontline workers, the post has provided curbside dinners to
members and those in need. “I think our community partners … have begun to realize the potential of what we at Seward Post 5 can do to help,” said Post Commander Clare Sullivan.
Great job, Post 5, of providing some northern exposure Legion-style!”
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
