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).
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.
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.
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.
Just a reminder that the First Thursday of every month breakfast will be at Rome Point Cafe in North Kingstown RI (820 Boston Neck Rd, North Kingstown, RI 02852). Folks show up after 7:30 PM and order about 8 PM.
