[W5SFA] W5SFA Tuesday Night Net 7-2-19

[Roger Klein]

Nice job with the net tonight Gary.  Seemed like the new format took about the same amount of time as the old format.  Either one works for me.

For anyone installing a mobile radio in their vehicle, I've found the following web site to be one of the best resources:  http://www.k0bg.com/install.html 

The note about good wiring practices, and avoiding issues with the ELD (electrical load detector) that is mounted near the negative battery terminal, can be found here:
http://www.k0bg.com/wiring.html    Also watch out for galvanic corrosion issues in vehicles with aluminum bodies, like the Ford F-150 I have!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Please check the reflector for information regarding the "Stop the 
Bleed" training seminar scheduled for July 27th.

President Ray attended the WCARC meeting in Brenham last week and was 
impressed with the club and the direction they are moving toward.  Maybe 
some joint activities are in the future.

Ex-President Jack is working on installing a mobile radio in his 
vehicle.  Roger suggested caution when connecting the 12 volt power 
cables with the newer vehicle electronics.  Good advise thanks Roger.

We tried a little different net tonight calling amateur's by call sign 
from a roll call list.  Other clubs have used this method to avoid 
having doubles and missed calls.  Let me know any feedback and we can 
adjust as needed or go back to A-L and M-Z.  Your choice, it's your net.
