SPARC E C H O L I N K Users

The NZ1Q-L link to the SPARC 2m repeater will be moving to W4GGJ-L Monday, March 30.
All users will connect to W4GGJ-L from Monday onward.

I have operated and maintained the system for ~7 yrs. It is time to allow another club member to be honored as SPARC EchoLink Sysop. Joe, W4GGJ and I will move the equipment to his shack during the day on Monday. If Murphy doesn't show up, it should be operational for the net and prenet tomorrow evening. Broadcastify should be operating normally after the move.

To start, we will keep all software settings the same as we are moving the computer and software as is, along with the RigBlaster interface and the 2m Rig.

Many thanks to Joe for volunteering 👏👏

The team did a great job this morning at the SPARC station in removing the remaining antennas and tower. Then moving them to the Wyoming Antelope Club. The POD was also filled with all the remaining item from the station at DMI. Thanks again to everyone who showed up and helped out today.
