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.
I had a pretty good time at the Charleston Hamfest yesterday, and I met a few of the regular DAREN operators. I picked up a few little things that I think I can use. Check the www.wc8ec.com website for other Hamfests that will be coming up in the next few months.
There were only 32 check-ins to the State Wide DAREN Net this week. It seems like the net keeps going down each week. I don't know if it's because of the time of year or the loss of DAREN Nodes, or just the lack of interest. I'll keep operating the State Wide DAREN Net as long as I can get some check-ins.
That's all I have for this week. Maybe I'll get some news for next week.
