Old Business
Our support for the Bloomin Metric bicycle ride went well. Sound Cyclists made a donation to GNARC for our work in providing them with communications.
Club standby repeater operational at W1SMS home in Danbury. Range limited due to low mounted antenna. Being tested. No date for deployment at hospital.
People have been reading the newsletter. Good content but file size is too large for some browsers, especially on phones. Photo files too big. One newsletter was over 134 Meg in size.
New Business
We will be doing Field Day with HARC and GFARA at the Westport Astronomical Society.
——
The business meeting was adjourned at about 7:30.
Peter K1PCN gave a informative and directly useful presentation on MeshCore, which seems to be replacing MeshTastic. MeshCore is growing rapidly in this area and is being adopted by emergency responders in some of the towns within Region One based on MeshCore repeaters being put up by amateur operators in the area.
