The WIRES-X Network (Source: Yaesu)<\/p><\/div>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Dave Zantow (N9EWO), who asks:<\/p>\n

How many of you Amateur Radio folks reading this web page<\/a> have WIRES-X capability (either with a local node on your own or have access to it via a repeater) ?? I ask this as a possibility of a casual net of some kind ? We have WIRES-X (local node) here and would be willing to at least try a test run of a weekly or semi weekly “SWL – Receiver Net” IF we receive enough feedback (even if only a few readers). So I would appreciate an email back<\/a> with a thumbs up or down to this idea and that you would be at least a check in ? Also please give me ideas when you would think a good day of the week and time would be (USA) ? If I receive zero feed back, of course I will not waste my time (but I think it would be fun to at least give it a try).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I only recently acquires a WIRES-X capable handheld: the Yaesu FT2DR<\/a>. Now I need to find out if there is a WIRES-X capable repeater I can hit from my home. Of course, for me it’s always finding a reliable time to meet–that’s the real challenge! Great idea, Dave!<\/p>\n

Post<\/em> Readers: Contact Dave if you’re interested–his email can be found at the top of his homepage<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
