Watts Up The Week

It’s hump day and we’re half way through another week.
 
Coming up this Saturday (4/27) is the club breakfast at Mel’s in Auburn. The fun “officially” starts at 0730 but we recommend arriving early or you may have to sit at “the kids table”. Following breakfast, those interested will be heading down to Roseville for our monthly Fox Hunt. This month’s tender is Chris (N6CTC). The Fox Hunt team will meet in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot at 0930 (Foothill Junction Shopping Center, 5010 Foothills Blvd, Roseville, CA 95747). More information can be found @ foxhunt.w6ek.org
 
REPEATER USE THIS WEEKEND (April 26-27):  Starting Friday (4/26 @ 0900), the 2M and 70cm (440) repeaters will be linked in analog to support the Canyons 100 Mile Endurance Run. Contacts and OSOs on the system should be limited giving the Canyons 100 Mile Endurance Run communications team priority. The repeaters should be back to normal operation by Saturday (4/27 @ 2100). There will be no Coffee Break Net on both days.
