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 Statewide 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 www.wc8ec.com and www.wc8ec.org websites.
While posting the DAREN News and Statewide DAREN Net Announcement this past week, I noticed the NODE/PBBS of TUCKWV/DAVIWV in Tucker County was back on the air. I don't know what the problem was, but I'm glad it's back.
I hope everyone has a good and safe Thanksgiving Holiday. In West Virginia it's the starting of gun Deer hunting season, so be safe if you are in the woods for any reason.
The National Weather Service says that we are supposed to have some pretty high winds sometime this coming week. Hopefully we don't have any trees come down that will cause any of our antennas to get damaged, or take down power lines to any of our DAREN stations.
I want to remind everyone to be sure to set their scales back 15 pounds before Thanksgiving.
There were 33 check-ins to the Statewide DAREN Net this week. This week I've completed 1400 check-ins. I've been participating in the net since it first started on October 31, 1992. Lisa Hendershot, KB8UER, needs only one more check-in to make 1300.
