Announcements: The Library of Congress has requested military stories in an attempt to record as many veterans’ stories as possible. Please go to loc.gov/vets; from that page, click on “How To Participate.” The forms can be downloaded in a number of methods. This collection is just “your military stories,” recollections of your time in the military. A verbal history.
Also, the announcement from December Net Announcements concerning the TALARC newsletter being terminated, and Special Event operations canceled and turned over to posts and clubs to hold the special events.
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.
