Sorry I missed the net this evening. Special thanks to Phil for doing the check-ins and taking notes in my absence. As promised, the net minutes from earlier tonight are attached and posted online at https://w5bcs.radio/minutes/nets/2023-12-19/. As an added bonus (call it a Christmas gift, if you will), I've been working on something that was brought up at the club meeting this weekend. The project is still very much in its infancy, but I am in the process of putting together a subscribable calendar of events with the same tool that I use to take minutes. This calendar will include club activities (nets, minutes, etc.) as well as activities from other ham organizations in the surrounding area. There is not much to see yet, but what I have so far can be viewed at https://w5bcs.radio/minutes/events/. Expect improvements (especially better styling!) and additional events in the calendar in the coming weeks! Merry Christmas! 73, Gig 'em, and God bless! -- Cordially, Matthew Barry (KG5LYE) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
