nmfree posted:FYI it's illegal to play any kind of music over the air (unless incidental to rebroadcasting a space shuttle transmission). No poo poo? I don't believe I've ever heard that before. No, siree. Lighten up a bit, it's that kind of attitude (the "Oh No Someone Might Possibly Violate A Rule Under Its Strictest Interpretation" stuff) that ruins the hobby for young people who might want to have some fun and not take it as always being Serious Business. Under a super strict interpretation of "music" (which Part 97 neglects to define), many repeater courtesy tones would probably be illegal (see the example wav files inside the .zip linked from this page).

I don't think nmfree was going OF on you there, I think it's more a case of trying to avoid copyrighted sounds like horns.aiff that are easily recognizable. Having the repeater play a short, original courtesy tone is one thing, while having it play a random bass interlude from Seinfeld is another. I would have said the same thing if I'd heard a specific idea posted that possibly could have been a violation of the rules. If it were up to me all of the repeater announcements and courtesy tones would be clips from Tourette's Guy, but it only takes one OF to rally the hamabout calvary and cause someone to lose their license. poo poo, I wouldn't doubt it if the Zed started treating us like they do the folks at Hamsexy after we all get on the air a few times.

Are you sure the FCC is being serious in Part 97 when they talk about no music? After all, SA has a sub-forum titled "No Music Discussion", but yet, they discuss music there.

make the tone a SSTV partial, which is just rainbow but sounds like music. Or rebroadcast the space shuttle but I don't think they have any good tunes. Also singing I'm pretty sure counts but happy birthday doesn't, but people will be kc's about it.

They'll give an Extra ticket to ANYONE these days'. What?

I'm not a loving lawyer, so I don't know how to properly notate this, but in Part 97.5, B it says this:quote:(2) A club station license grant. A club station license grant may be held only by the person who is the license trustee designated by an officer of the club. The trustee must be a person who holds an Amateur Extra, Advanced, General, Technician Plus, or Technician operator license grant. The club must be composed of at least four persons and must have a name, a document of organization, management, and a primary purpose devoted to amateur service activities consistent with this part. From what I can tell so far, there are no specific requirements as to the organizational structure. As far as the FCC and ARRL are concerned I'm the trustee of the club station license, and BigHustle is the responsible party. This does not necessarily mean we have to be officers of the club, although it seems evident that we are willing to do do so. Dijkstra volunteered to be an officer as well in his message to the club email address. Based on the amount of emails sitting in the gmail inbox, we already pass the requirement of having more then 4 members. As far as a purpose, I think we could say our mission statement has three points. 1. To bring humor to Amateur Radio. 2. To encourage more members of the younger generation to get involved with Amateur Radio. 3. To provide fellowship among the ham radio operators of the Something Awful forums. So what I'm saying here is we need to figure out exactly how many officers we need, elect them, and then have those officers hold some type of meeting to conduct the initial club business and put the bureaucratic bullshit in writing. In the mean time, I'll comb thru Part 97 and find anything else relating to clubs. If anyone has any better info on any of this, speak up.

nmfree posted:Ah, but my neckbeard is unkempt and bristly, and my B.O. violates several aritcles of the Geneva Convention. My moustache acts as a filter to block any and all air contaminates. BRING IT ON! nmfree posted:According to one of the League's publications on this page, there needs to be 4 officers (Pres., V.P., Sec., and Treas.) but they don't say (and I don't know) whether that's a League thing or something for Uncle Charlie. Otherwise, their docs are surprisingly unhelpful as to the nitty gritty of setting up a new club; they're (unsurprisingly) more worried about getting people set us as affiliated clubs. The ARRL is like a vampire, It is only interested in getting new blood. I think this is supposed to be one of those 'copy those around you' kind of things. The good thing here is we won't have any club equipment or actual meetings to plan, other than EchoLink or HF nets. That cuts out the gavel and voting 'yea' and 'nay' at a big important meeting like some of the clubs love to do, but who needs that poo poo anyway? I signed the paperwork as the 'responsible club official', but I have no loving clue exactly what that means since I'm neither responsible nor official. I suppose that means that I should be on the roster of 'officials' somewhere, where I don't really care. I have no problem being the Starscream to someone else's Megatron. So, are we gonna try and take some kind of vote, do people want to volunteer, or what?

I may, I'm currenty sporting a neckbeard and drink soda. My downfall is I shower (sorry) and get continous dates since I'm married. I can do a half-rear end position, backup backup net coordinator? On my resume I was President of my college's radio club and ran their weekly net. Too bad their node seems to have fallen off the planet, would be the perfect node for this. I use to have college check-ins from all over, it was strange having a amateur radio net where most participants were under 40! I also passed code to get General, in amateur radio land that makes me cooler.

Speaking of code... There was an OF bitching on an area repeater last night about the FCC ruined ham radio by killing off the CW requirement for licenses. Someone asked him when he got his license and he said in the mid 70s. They then asked when he last used code and he said 'I only learned it to pass the license exam'. OK, I can understand someone who actually USES CW complaining about the changes, but that comment just reeks of elitist bullshit. People like that would rather see the hobby die than change just because they think that since they had to do something means that everyone until the end of time should have to do it too. Someone told him to go back down to 11m since they didn't like his kind on the REAL ham bands and he got all pissy and left. Apparently the St Louis area has more tolerant hams than Jersey did.

I listen in on several, but the one run by the club I joined is K0AMC, which is located in High Ridge, MO. I'm about 5-7 miles east of the repeater, which is about 30 miles west of St Louis. You might be able to hit the repeater if you picked up a rig with some decent output and got an antenna up high enough. We have one guy in the club who lives just outside of O'Fallon, IL that runs the 6m and 10m nets through the UHF links. He's about 60 miles west of the repeater, but I think he also has a tower up with a beam on it. EDIT: Jesus, I can't type for poo poo tonight.

In their article about club constitutions, it says that it's important to list the specific duties of each officer - which is good advice - but I don't think those role names are an absolute mandate. If the club has a "Führer Übercommandante Czar King", an "Evil Prince(ss)", a "Tall Hatted Scribe", a "Keeper of the Precious Booty", and "The One Who is Given all Blame and Glory for Acts Committed upon the Luminiferous Aether", that is just as informative as Pres., V.P., Sec., Treas. and Trustee. All that matters is that when asked for the "President" or the "Trustee" on official forms, one knows who that translates into in the club. For example, in my local club, the V.P. is tasked with organizing work, while the deputy member is responsible for licensing classes. In other clubs, the same roles names might have quite different duties. Vir fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Nov 16, 2010 |

I have my node on the dedicated server setup. Okay it's not really a "server" but it's a pretty fast workstation that will do nothing but be an echolink node. Send email to the club email (saars.ag0on@gmail.com) for the node number. Sorry to be a poo poo but I really don't want to post my callsign. BigHustle and dv6speed also have the info. I have to run out but there will hopefully be some people on tonight. I will try to join in if anyone is there when I get back. TNLTRPB if you want to conference your node in please do, I have it setup for multi-conference ( I think) so it should work.
