Re: April Meeting Time and Location Change

I will make plan's to bring my two Soldering iron's, a flux tin and some electrical rated Solder. 
P.S. My soldering iron gun I normally use it kicked the bucket a couple week's ago while doing a repair on an 12v Rv style hanging light for my ham shack and tripped the GFCI I had it plugged into. so I'm gonna have to oder me a new one it was about 20 year's old and had seen a lot of heavy use. 
that way I can get set up if needed to help install PL-259's on coax cable's or tin Power cable's for hooking up to a power supply. 
or anything else if needed.

All,

I hope this email finds you well. NEMRA will be making some changes to the time and location of the 11-April meeting. The meeting will be held at 5:30 pm at the storage location just off the South Access Road in Fulton. It will be modified/abbreviated to ensure we have time to make final preparations to get the weather station back up and operational. If you have any questions regarding the location, please reach out, and we will give you more detailed information. I look forward to seeing you all at our next meeting.

147.075 repeater update.

Today we were able to determine that the 147.075v club repeater in Tupelo had somehow lost power accidentally. Power was restored and the repeater is functioning as normal. Please utilize the repeater as needed and as you desire.

At this time I have not heard from anyone planning to test tomorrow.  Therefore, in accordance with our standing policy, tomorrows test session is canceled.  Our next regularly scheduled date will be the 2nd Saturday in May.  If there is need before then, I would be happy to schedule a special session, subject of course to the availability of sufficient  Volunteer Examiners.

Tupelo Club Testing Session

This weekend, the Tupelo Amateur Radio Club will be testing for new license, upgrades, or administration updates. Please look over the following, and pass on as needed. 
____________________________________________
Saturday, February 11, is our regularly scheduled quarterly VE test session at 2:00 pm.  The test location will be 118 Lemons Drive at the Tupelo Airport.  This is the same location where the Tupelo Amateur Radio Club usually meets. If you know of anyone who has been planning to take an exam, please pass a reminder to them.  Those taking exams need to bring a photo ID, any valid CSCE's, and a $10 exam fee.  Since May 20, 2021, all amateur examination applicants are required to provide an FCC Registration Number (FRN) to the Volunteer Examiners (VEs) before taking an amateur exam.   Applicants who already have an FCC license, whether for amateur radio or in another service, already have an FRN and can use the same number.  All prospective new FCC licensees, however, will be required to obtain an FRN before the examination and provide that number to the volunteer examiners on the Form 605 license application.  I can provide instructions to anyone needing to obtain an FRN number.  Also, those wishing to take exams should notify me of their intention to sit for an exam at dannyrgrimes@gmail.com or 662-322-2201 if they have not already done so.  
Our standing policy is that, if by the Friday before the test, we appear to have no examinees planning to test, the test session is subject to cancellation.
