DAREN News, are articles and information about the Digital Amateur Radio "Emergency" Network of WV, which operates on 145.69 MHz. Anyone having any information about DAREN, or Amateur Radio in general, and would like to share it with others, may send it to WA8LLM @ PKBGWV on 145.69 MHz, or to my E-Mail: wa8llm@yahoo.com. A State Wide DAREN NET is operated every Saturday from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm, and lately, before and after those hours. The DAREN Net Announcement, showing the MAIN NCS, ALTERNATE NCS, NODEs accessible to both, and the previous week's check-ins, are posted by Thursday on most of the Main county DAREN PBBS'. The DAREN News can also be found on the wc8ec.com website.
There hasn't been much of any news this week. I haven't heard from anyone about DAREN, or anything about Packet at all.
The only thing that I have heard is the postponement of the Plateau Amateur Radio Association Hamfest which was supposed to be held next Saturday, February 21st. The Hamfest committee decided to postpone the Hamfest due to the upcoming bad weather this coming week and weekend. Any question about the Hamfest can be forwarded to the PARA Hamfest, PO Box 96, Fayetteville, WV, 25840 or Jane Hardy, WV8JH, (304) 640-1120 or Charlie Hardy, WV8CH, (304) 640- 4630.
Anyone that has something to pass on to other Amateurs can send it to me, and I'll put it here in the News.
There were only 35 check-ins to the State Wide DAREN Net this week.
