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.
It's been a very quiet week, I haven't heard from anyone. I've been busy for the past couple weeks building five more racing clocks. I have six of them which have been used for the last couple of road runs. I need to get the five completed before the Parkersburg Half Marathon which will be held in August.
I've been checking the Hamfest Schedules and thought I'd pass on a little information for the West Virginia ARRL State Convention which will be held on August 22nd this year. The convention will be held at Jackson Mills. Also be sure to put the Parkersburg/Wood County Hamfest on your calendar, which will be held on October 10th. The Wood County Hamfest will be held at the 4-H Camp Grounds on Butcher Bend Road in Mineral Wells, Wood County.
There were only 38 check-ins to the State Wide DAREN Net this week. Tom White, W3JTW, needs only one more check-in to make 750. Julie Paugh, KB3URS, needs only one more check-in to make 100.
That's all I have for this week.
