Message-ID: <20090414174210.X7WBP.386715.imail@eastrmwml30>

Hello all
The 146.76 repeater is off the air.  I shut it down on Monday due to long periods of noise that was keeping the repeater keyed up.  When I later tried to turn the repeater back on, it would not respond to the remote commands.  It is stuck in the "knowck-down" state until one of us from the board of directors can get up to the repeater site and check things out.  

We are slowly working on building a new 76 repeater but I'm not sure when it will be ready.   In the mean time,  our other repeaters are available including:
146.94 repeater in Cumberland . PL of 67.0 is required. 
223.76 repeater in Scituate, no PL is required. 
447.425 in Scituate (no PL required) and 443.850 in Exeter, PL 141.3.  These two UHF repeaters are linked together. 

Of course there are plenty of other repeaters in RI that are available for your use, including the KA1RCI repeater network and 146.700.  

Thank you for your patience.

Subject: [76] New England QSO Party - May 2nd & 3rd
Message-ID: <49EE7FB7.109@arrl.net>

Hey Gang,

  Don't forget the New England QSO Party is next weekend, May 2nd & 
3rd.  This event seems to grow every year, and hopefully you can get on 
the air and make a few contacts.  Check out the NEQP web page for the 
contest rules, and the many awards that you could possibly win for 
participating and submitting your log.  http://www.neqp.org    Try 
getting on for even a few hours, and you may be activating one of the 
rare New England counties and may suddenly find yourself being on the 
receiving end of a QSO Party pileup!

  I also want to remind everybody that the BCRA and "Team HAMCOW" will 
again be on Martha's Vineyard set up next to the Gay Head Lighthouse.  
You can follow our progress at http://hamcow.net.  I will try to keep 
things up to date on the web throughout the weekend.  Last year "Team 
HAMCOW" placed 5th in New England in the club category, which is great 
considering some of the club entries are done with multiple members 
running their home stations for a cumulative score.  We were portable!!  
This years setup is the most robust ever, the HAMCOW is in great shape 
for its second voyage to the island, and the operators are lined up to 
bang out some contacts!  And most important, the food will be abundant.  
Let's hope for good weather, light winds, and good DX.  I hope to hear 
you on the air.

  SEE YA!!

  Roland - N1JOY

Message-ID: <49F92726.5020201@arrl.net>

Hey Gang,

  The BCRA and "Team HAMCOW" will again be on Martha's Vineyard for the 
New England QSO Party this weekend.  You can keep an eye on our progress 
at http://hamcow.net.   I should be posting regular updates throughout 
the weekend on the web page.

  We have added a new feature to our contest logging; real time online 
web lookup!  You can now make a contact with us, and follow the link on 
the HAMCOW web page and see if you are in our contest log.  This should 
stay working as long as our Internet connection stays alive.  The online 
lookup can also be a good indicator of where we are operating at the 
time.  The band status bar at the bottom will be green for the bands we 
are currently working.  All I ask is to please be respectful and only 
access the web page when you make a contact as our Internet bandwidth 
into the trailer may be marginal.  This logging web page is not on some 
super server, but the actual HAMCOW logging server inside the trailer 
and being fed off a cellular air card. 

  The NEQP Dates & Times are: 
*Date:* First full weekend of May (May 2-3, 2009).
*Contest Period:* 2000Z Saturday until 0500Z Sunday (4pm EDT Saturday 
until 1am EDT Sunday) and 1300Z Sunday until 2400Z Sunday (9am EDT 
Sunday until 8pm EDT Sunday).

  NEQP Contest Rules:
  http://www.neqp.org/rules.html

  I hope to see you in the logs, especially during the NEQP!

  Thanks!
