Submitted by dfaulkner on Thu, 04/10/2008 - 01:39

Tonight's talk & traffic net was odd for two reasons:

  1. It was the first in a while
  2. It was check-in only because of the severe weather in the area

In any case, thanks to those who checked in this evening's net, with KB5WPM as net control:

  • AD5SW
  • KD5TCY
  • N5XMY
  • W5RFA

College Satellite Night - March 27

Submitted by mbarlow on Sun, 03/23/2008 - 01:39

This Thursday night, from about 5:30PM to 10:15PM we will be participating in College Satellite Night. AMSAT has activated a second repeater on AO51 Echo, and on Thursday, contacts with a school station have precedence over other contacts. Shown below is the schedule of voice satellite passes over W5YM during the event. I will try to be at the station for all these passes, and anyone who wants to participate only needs to come when its convenient for them.

Going Live

Submitted by mbarlow on Sun, 03/23/2008 - 00:35

With any luck, today will be the biggest change to the W5YM website in over five years. This website migration will hopefully make the site more friendly towards current and future supporters. This is accomplished by using the Drupal content management system. We hope that in the near future, this system will allow members to contribute stories and pictures effortlessly to the website in a way that looks professional.
