[W5SFA] Reminder: Wednesday Night Net

[ron]

Hello all,

I too have noticed that I do not hear a squelch tail when I use vhf. I 
thought that it might be my settings, but they all look OK. UHF works as 
I believe it should, with the squelch tail. Going to look at the 
settings again and see if I can find any problems with them.

I plan to bring the Baofeng for the SES next month. If every station 
location is on the repeater, we can communicate with everyone who is 
active. That way everyone will know who is on what band and when they 
are active and QRT.

Ron
