Re: meetings
Hi Carolyn Since covid we have been holding club meetings on the Bridget 146.88 repeater on the 1st Thursday of each month at 7:00OPM.? This Thursday we are having a special presentation by Bob Bruninga the inventor of APRS.? His main focus in the presentation will be energy sources and emergency power in the ham shack but will also answer any questions on APRS also.? If you go to the Gallatin Ham Radio Club Site there is a meeting request there which has a link to the meeting and the passcode.? Please join us at the meeting.? The next two months will be presenters on Zoom Meeting.? Next month will be John Portune and the next month Bob Heil.? Also there is a net on the Bridger repeater each Tuesday night at 8:00PM.? Hope all this information helps. Ronnie? (AI7DK) On Mon, Mar 8, 2021 at 5:44 PM Carolyn J Chiappetta <cjoanchips@...> wrote: My unit is in my car as I live in an apartment building.

Hi Ralph--
I would like to be on the list to help with Blazing Saddles.
Best regards,

Jeanette Polsak, who heads up the Blazing Saddles bike event in Livingston, has asked the Club to help with communications for their last ever official biking event, which will be held on July 17, 2021.? The Club has usually staffed the five aid stations,
and sometimes a ride-along position.? The aid stations are located on the Frontage Road at Bozeman Pass, Battle Ridge Campground, Wilsall Pavillion, Cutoff into Livingston, off of US 89, on the northeast side of Livingston, and the Sacajawea Park Pavillion
in Livingston.? I realize that July 17th is a ways off, but I would appreciate hearing from those that might be interested in helping out with this event.? Blazing Saddles helps to support Montana families where childhood cancer is involved.
If you are interested in helping out, please email me at:

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMost of the organizations that I belong to have moved to Zoom.? One caution, a woman in one of our meetings took her laptop into the bathroom without muting or turning off the camera.? Bad decision.? The meeting fell apart.? Just a reminder to anyone using zoom that there are some unwritten rules of etiquette.?? WA7MKN ? Sent from for Windows 10 ? From: Ronnie ai7dk
