We are happy to report that the changes to the W1SYE.ORG website that enables secure https: access have been completed. This will avoid modern browsers complaining that the site is “not safe” or “not secure”. So when you see the Green Secure icon you know you all interactions are encrypted and that the website hasn’t been hijacked.
W1SYE Repeater Back On-the-Air
Thanks to Paul K1YBE, and Willy W1LY, for stopping by the repeater site and getting W1SYE back on the air. We aren’t 100% certain, but it looks like the non GE controller may have failed.
The club is monitoring the situation and may have to take additional steps in the future if the repeater hardware has become unreliable (it also went off-line about a month ago).
Sept 18 Technician Class Canceled
Unfortunately the Technician Class scheduled to begin next Tuesday, Sept 18, will not be held due to a lack of students (if you teach a class and there is nobody there, does anyone learn anything).
A new class will be scheduled at a future date.
W1SYE.ORG Now Hosted by HostGator
The W1SYE website moved to HostGator.
This move has been underway for the past 40 days, but was completed this afternoon. It may take a few hours for the DNS entries to propagate (in other words for the new server to be located). Eventually this should allow us to enable a secure (https) website.
Meeting Reminder: Monday Sept 10, 7 PM at KVH
Just a quick reminder that our monthly meeting will be 7 PM on Monday, September 10th, at KVH. After a brief business update, we will have a presentation on marine radio from members of our activation crew.
