Re: Club Call Sign
If you build it they will come! I'd just start working on creating one and then set it up.. Someone needs to be trustee of the callsign.

Re: Dedicated ZS Echolink node?
Someone needs to apply for a club call.. It's pretty simple to do.. Should be issued pretty quickly.
If we want a vanity call then its a little bit more work..
- Get club call assigned
- Then choose a vanity callsign
- Then apply for vanity callsign and wait.. Takes about 18 business days

10-4.. I'll add that in. Sundays we are usually with the family for dinner until about 8PM. But I'll do my best to get in on the nets.

Re: ZSRC Logo
Send me a direct message. I have a company I have used in the past. They are pretty good and 1.00 each patch depending on how many patches you order type of thing.. (Not sure if this has to go through ZS Admin or not and sold through them?)

For those in / Around Grand Rapids.. https://groups.google.com/group/zs-grand-rapids/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I'd like to start a chapter in the area. Nothing against the guys down south but its difficult for me to drive that far most days.

Re: would you join in on a weekly net?
General but I don't have easy access to HF.. Echolink / IRLP would be the way to roll. There are a lot of net's these days that are internet based and connect to the radio on various repeaters. If you need an IRLP reflector I am sure I can get access to the 9616 West Michigan Privately Owned Repeate...

Re: Do you do ARES? *Should* you?
Gary is very correct on what he is saying. Each program is different. The ARES / RACES program I run has 82 members has a Search and Rescue team as part of the program, works in the EOC and has our own space in the dispatch center. We donate close to a million dollars in value each year to the count...

Ignore the asshats. Do it because you enjoy helping.

Get your ham license. You won't be sorry.
