TEN METER ROUNDTABLE – Herb Shaffer, KA3WSO

Starting in November (until winter is over) on the first Sunday of the month at 7 p.m., everyone is welcome to tune into 28.485 MHz and join in on a 10 meter roundtable. As we all know, 10 meters in the evening can be somewhat challenging – although easier if everyone uses antennas with the same polarization – namely vertical.
We will start the net on 28.485 MHz USB and move a little up or down to find a better frequency if necessary. All local hams are welcome to check in.
As many of us know, Dave Kir, WA3DJG (SK), started the "Snow Bird" net many years ago. He was one great friend to all of us and a dedicated member of W3PIE. In his honor, anytime we get a decent snowfall in our area, you can get on 28.485 MHz and check in. Now you know the rest of the story. 73 all the way around.

A few of our members were gabbing it up on the 147.045 repeater when one of them came across a vehicle fire where they were able to assist in an area where cell coverage is spotty.
Getting a call for emergency services for help by relaying a message over the repeater to another operator with a phone to 911 for help.
Just one way amateur radio is such an amazing tool and a great hobby.
Great job guys!

The W3PIE 147.045 Amateur Radio Repeater is still on broadcastify but unfortunately broadcastify does not support their own app anymore.

If you go to the broadcastify, in the app it is recommending to download Squawster-Police Scanner.
Just search W3PIE on any scanner application for the 147.045 repeater.
This is free to steam live!

Any questions feel free to post a comment here.

Twenty-five years ago, our world changed in an instant. Today, we pause to honor and remember the 2,977 precious lives lost on September 11, 2001—the mothers, fathers, children, siblings, friends, and brave first responders who rushed toward danger without hesitation.
We remember the unimaginable loss, but we also remember how humanity rose in the darkest hour: through acts of extraordinary courage, compassion, unity, and resilience.
To the families who carry the weight of memory every day, and to all who continue to serve and sacrifice: you are not forgotten.
May we continue to hold onto the strength, kindness, and togetherness that bound us in the days that followed.
Never forget. 9/11 🕊️✨
