CLUB CHAT...
It has been suggested that the members have an informal chat on a Wednesday evening..
Staring at around 19.00 local.
Due to the locale of some of our members 145.600 the WR repeater seemed a likely place to rendezvous.
Anyone around at this time is more than welcome to have a chat.
PLEASE REMEMBER the repeater is primarily for mobile comms so therefore priority should always be given.
SEE YOU THERE ......
