Final Exhortations
Philippians 4:4-7 / Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
President's Report
FD2019. You should have been there. Several hams gathered to make this year's event a success. We operated and fellowshiped after setting up two new antenna arrays. Next year we will hopefully have it a little more organized, but all an all it was a pretty good time. We should have the totals at the meeting. I know I'm curious to hear how many were made.
We have a lot going on in the upcoming months so jump in where you can and be a part of the ARES or MARC efforts. We can use some help, Elmers needed for mentors.
See you at the meeting on Saturday.

GE to all: It is the time of year for both the Lauderdale Repeater Group and Meridian Amateur Radio Club to jointly pay for Liability Insurance to cover both groups and repeater sites. This year’s premium remains the same price of $325.00 for a one year policy. Both groups will pay half of the premium ($162.50 each). I urge everyone to help pay for this expense. If you use any one of / or both repeaters just remember these things do not stay on the air all by themselves. All donations will be greatly appreciated. Dennis NO5C

Notes from KK4QAM
I have changed the frequency on my VHF BBS to 145.010. I received a copy of the Spark Gap from the MARC and saw where some of their members were turning theirs on for the hurricane season. I emailed them and now I am connected to their network from MS, AR, OK, and MO. I have added an HF side to the BBS on 3.586 USB, dial frequency, running the Winmor protocol. It can be accessed by downloading RMS Express from Winlink.org and using a peer to peer (p2p) connection. VHF and HF BBS call sign is KK4QAM-1. On VHF, I have gotten a digipeater running on the lower antenna of the 08 tower(KK4QAM-9) The VHF side can be accessed by using Easytern and Soundmodem from the UZ7HO web page http://uz7.ho.ua/packetradio.htm

Quote of the Day
Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you. Joel Osteen
