I am pleased to announce that our Guest Speaker for our February 5 hybrid Club Meeting will be Bruce Pigott, KC1US, who is the Trustee for the North Reading Repeater on the frequency of 146.715. The presentation is a quick overview of the Minuteman Repeater Association repeaters and network. Will be talking about how the network is put together, information resources, and details of the Billerica equipment and operation. Also included will be details about scheduled nets, discussion of the extensive MMRA web site and how to contact club officers. Bruce will be appearing in person at the Church to give his talk, and there will be ample time after for questions and discussion. This will be a very interesting presentation about one of the best repeater networks in the state, so you won’t want to miss it!
