LWRA Ham Bytes – Week of 1/12/26

I would like to thank each who came out or joined the group for the ‘State of the Club’ meeting last week. We had a rousing 34 attending! We had a good time and are charged up for next year, I hope. Remember it’s your club so let us know what you want for programs. We have some great members with a huge knowledge base that can contribute.

A short message this week so have great week look for messages about HAM N BEANS this week.

The ’Flavor of the Week’ will be FUSION on Bartow repeater and WC4PEM Polk County repeater network will be the Topping this repeater is analog and Echo Link.

NET TONIGHT!

WE NEED A NET CONTROL FOR TONIGHT (Tuesday) (I THINK). WE WILL ALSO HAVE AN OPENING FOR THE SECOND TUESDAY IF INTERESTED LET ME KNOW.

UPDATE – 1/13/26 – 0630 EST:  I was reminded that this Tuesday’s net is in VERY capable hands! John KU8Q will skillfully man the net this week as usual. Totally my fault for the confusion, sorry.

Join John at 730 this evening for the LWRA net. 442.425Mhz with 127.3 Tx and Rx for those who have recently joined the club.
Sorry for the confusion.  I hope you have a great day!

We still net a few net controllers for our GMRS associated nets.

Dan’s W5DBH Haines City Net on Fridays 462.55 127.3 he needs subs and controllers for his 7 PM Friday net.  I need a third- or fourth-week controller for the Polk GMRS net for Tuesday at 7PM each week. 462.725 141.3. Also, standby subs for all three nets would be great. Let me know about any 863-412-2467

Thanks, Russ, for the celestial updates. Great net reminders on SIGNAL each day… a wonderful tool!
