Welcome to the MARC Newsletter a publication of the Michigan Area Repeater Council. This news letter is published quarterly in conjunction with the quarterly business meetings. If you prefer a columnized version of this newsletter click here for the wide version. |
Please notice the instructions for the June electronic meeting. |
President’s Update: MARC is moving along nicely as far as cleaning up the database. You might receive a notice from Bob, N8ZCC asking you to update your coordination if you are late on your update, have not updated your provisional coordination to a final coordination, or returned the coordinated frequency to the pool. Please respond to Bob’s request, as it is the trustee’s duty to keep the coordination updated or returned to the frequency pool.
There were no changes to the MARC board in September.
Thank you to those volunteers that are donating their
time to Michigan repeater coordination. I have seven applications on my waiting list for 2 meters and 440. Also one active application and numerous finals to issue as provisional updates are being submitted for final coordination. 73, Phil W8IC ----------------------------------------------- Electronic Meeting Information: The December 2, at Delta Township Meeting Hall at 1:00pm!

Work on the process of the required changes was discussed by Dan. New Business: Dave is working with Dan on the MARC database by updating software. This should make updating and changes to the database easier. Hopefully, in the future, others in MARC can update the database, and remove some of the workload of the database manager.
