Had an email from Scott KB8PRS in Manning, nw of Portland OR, asking for some help on making a fill-in digi for his area near Manning.

I found the nearby full-featured digis including NPLNS, IDIOTV, and SADDLE, and have reached out to the NPLNS leadership who is listed at N1KEZ Rob Geurtsen. I have not been able to connect with Rob. Does anyone have contact info for him, as the r...@n1kez.net address bounces.

Scott's email is kb8...@gmail.com. Please reach out if you can help.

Not very often we get requests for assistance, so it's important to me to offer help.

Regards,
Dave K7GPS
Missoula

Dave,

Did he say what kind of help he needed?  I’m in Oregon City now, which is about 45 minutes away.

Dave et al.  This is a summary of what I have sent out:

"I'm out in Banks/Manning and a long time ham who has dabbled in aprs a bit and new to digital modes in general.

1 - I'm interested in setting up a portable digipeater which has then turned into me considering an igate system (portable and/or fixed at my qth). I've been around long enough to know not to jump into an existing system without talking to those that run the existing system.

2 - I've got a couple of digital radios that are not even set up yet and would love to learn more about what is happening locally with digital."

Obviously request 1 is more what this group is about.  I am also on a pnw digital group but don't see much activity there either.

73 de kb8prs, Scott
