Starting with the Sunday Evening UHF Net on Sunday, June 7, 2020, we will be in C4FM (Fusion) mode. The repeater will remain in Automatic Mode Select (AMS), meaning that the repeater will transmit in the sme mode it received. If you have traffic and need to use the net, you may transmit in FM…

Dave (KØAVN) noticed that we didn’t have an official JARA logo and has offered one for our consideration. Originated on October 24th, Dave provided the “L” logo so our first chance to look at it and get everyone’s thumbs up on the October 27th UHF Net. The logo would be used on the web site…
