FEEL FREE TO TEXT ME at 6063353928 OR EMAIL MINUS THE SPACES BETWEEN LETTERS (r o l a n d @ r e b r o w n . o r g) IF YOU THINK MY STATION IS OFFLINE
***Special Note: I apologize for sneaking off last week with the extended family to spend a week on Edisto Island in South Carolina. It was great to unplug and relax. I failed, however, to let you know there would not be a net. I did include two map links below, one for the last week of August and one for the first week of September, for those who sent an RMS check-in.
***NOTE 1: JS8CALL in addition to Winlink. Both are running at the same time on the same frequency. I suggest adding @KYWN to your call groups and then sending a "SNR?" to the group. This serves two purposes. If you see the SNR is not good for AF4Y, you may want to wait to send your P2P Winlink Check-in, and second, it lets you know who else may be monitoring the @KYWN group. Feel free to check in to any or all of them.***
***Note 2: Should a live stream be set up it can be accessed via the following permanent link https://www.youtube.com/@TheElrono/live . When you click the link, if a livestream is in progress, you will be taken to it. If no livestream is in progress, you will just land on my video page.***
