Last night 6/5/20 we had an excellent presentation about DMR by Alan Bowker WA6DNR in our June membership meeting. Alan has graciously provided his slide deck which you can download at Alan’s DMR Slides The presentation includes a description of the technology, a discussion of some of the radios that use DMR, How the radios are configured, information about local repeaters and some demonstrations.
My only regret is that I did not record it.

The next regular meeting of the Marin Amateur Radio Society would normally fall on 3 July 2020. As in past years we are cancelling the July meeting due to its proximity to Independence Day, and this year, it falling on a national holiday.
We will meet as scheduled on 7 August 2020

It has long been the practice of the board of the Marin Amateur Radio Society to encourage members to attend board meetings, and unless we are discussing sensitive issues our meetings are open. Since we are not currently meeting face-to-face the option to just show up is not available. We are meeting using zoom and I am extending an invitation to you. There seems to be an element of society who scrapes websites for on-line meeting credentials in order to disrupt on-line meetings, and for that reason I am not publishing the credentials here. If you would like to attend please send me an email at wa6uds@w6sg.net and I will email you the meeting credentials. As usual we will meet at 7:30 pm on Thursday 14 May.

The pace of changes in the face of COVID-19 is enough to make me dizzy. With the present Shelter in Place orders around the bay we are cancelling the 3 April 2020 General meeting. We are also cancelling the License Training class that would have started 7 April 2020. Since many of us have risk factors that mean we should be extra careful we are also cancelling the Sunday Morning “Bible” classes until further notice.
As hams we are community that likes to meet and talk. For now we need to do that in ways that don’t involve face to face group meetings unless they are essential. I do encourage you to reach out on the air and I urge you to check into the various nets around the area just to let us know you are ok.

We have 35 RSVP “yes” responses so far, and we’re pretty sure that more of you plan to attend. Please, we need a pretty accurate number so we can provide enough lunches and enough take-home awards!
Please RSVP to RSVP@w6sg.net.
Cordially,
