Veterans Day Parade in Universal City on This Saturday, Nov 4th

Lee Besing

#1124

Hey folks it's that time of year again. The weekend before Veterans Day where we go help the Universal City Police Department with barricades and traffic control, off the road, in preparation for the parade to start.

We will be meeting at the Universal City Police Department inside the city hall on Universal Boulevard at 8:30. Briefing starts at 9. Police department will be supplying us with coffee and donuts. :-).

This year we will have about 20 commercial HT radios to pass out to those who do not have amateur radio capabilities.

We're going to try out a commercial UHF repeater, set up about halfway down the route, to run these handheld radios through, rather than using simplex.

So bring your friends and get some free donuts and coffee from the police department.

Please RSVP myself using my email address, not the group email. That way we make sure we've got plenty of donuts.
Nashville parade will start around 10:30 a.m. and will be done by noon. Often times we gather at a nearby Mexican restaurant on Pat Booker Road to have lunch together, on your own treat.

Thanks.

As far as San Antonio, the 146.940 host the SKYWARN net when activated. ARES repeater is 147.180. 147.380 will be the resource net, if needed. Currently everything is in the sait and see mode.

Daytime hurricane net, 14.325, in the evening it moves to 7.268

A few minutes ago, the Hurricane watch net for Harvey activated on 7.268 LSB. At this time nothing is going on, just check in's. I'm guessing they will switch to 14.325 in the morning.

I would look in the ARRL Repeater Book first. Also, sanantoniohams.org has information on repeaters although its listing for SARC is wrong and have been so advised. SARC’s repeater came down years ago.

Yahoo Group vs, w5sc.slack.com

Paul Guido

#1106

QST,

As I discussed at the meeting yesterday, I have built a Slack.com Team as a communication and collaboration tool for club use. I did this in an effort to modernize the San Antonio Radio Clubs offline communications.

The Yahoo Group has served us well since David K5OLE (SK) made it in May of 2006 but technology marches on.

A Slack Team is broken up into Channels. In each channel, people can coordinate events and add important information like pictures, files, and links all in a searchable format.

The following open channels are already in the group.

#event <- to support club events

#fieldday <- to communicate about Field Day activities

#meeting <- to discuss meetings past and future

#qst <- General Amateur Radio anouncements

#radiofiesta <- to communicate about the Amateur Radio Fiesta activies

#spurious-signals <- random club information

In the future, other channels can be created for committees to collaborate.

There is a Slack application for apple and android smart phones. After an invitation is sent, you can have Slack send you a magic link to login. The Magic Link makes it easy to log in to Slack from your phone for the first time.

If you would like an invite or have questions, please send an email to me using radioteacher@....
