Hello all DG'ers!
It's once again time for the Mount Baker Amateur Radio Club (MBARC) Digital Group (DG) to meet "Brady Bunch" style on Zoom. We meet to discuss all things digital (mostly data) in Amateur Radio. Of particular interest to the MBARC DG is the use of the WB7FHC / AG7GN Nexus DR-X units (http://wb7fhc.com/intro.html) and HamWAN / AREDN microwave networking here in Whatcom County.
MBARC DG meets the third Tuesday of each month at 19:00 Pacific. Some of us gather early for casual chatting.

Budd Churchward WB7FHC will be recreating on a trip, and has given me temporary custody of his Zoom account for the DG meeting. As usual, I'll start the Zoom session at 18:30, and begin recording at 19:00 for the formal meeting.
Topics for this meeting include:
* Introductions of those new to Amateur Radio and/or the Digital Group, including non DG guests.
* Show and tell of any projects or activities that you've done that are "Amateur Radio Digital".
* Digital Group Treasurer's Report
* A vote on an expenditure of DG treasury funds
* Discussion about the just-concluded Bellingham Maker Faire.
* Discussion about the newly-formed Bellingham Makerspace Amateur Radio Group.
