New District ARES Net: We are beginning a new Net for the entire WI ARES Southeast District . The net will be conducting the net on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 1900 on the 146.820 (-127.3) repeater. Any SE WI district ARES/RACES member is free to check in to the net, so please inform the individual members of your county ARES/RACES group. This will be a great monthly exercise to test our communication capabilities across the district. The first net is scheduled for 11/21/17 at 7PM. Hope you can all check in 
Our next meeting is Tuesday night (5/2) at 7PM. The topic will be our yearly Narrow Band Emergency Message System (NBEMS) training. NBEMS is a digital sound card mode that lets us transmit message and forms using programs like FLDIGI. You will often hear NBEMS digital traffic happening at the end of our Monday nights. This is a good chance to test your equipment, or get set up so you can play along, for real or during our Monday practice. This is a good opportunity to bring your computer, radio, and sound card interface to get everything set up and running.

Happy Holidays everyone! In the comments let us know what are your new years resolutions! How about to get started I tell you mine? My main one will be to take better care of my health, did I tell them that I like to do patio Christmas decorations, well I love to do DIY decorations. This year has been eye-opening. I’ve gone from thinking I only get sick once or twice a year to realizing I haven’t been taking care of myself correctly. I’m ageing, and as such my body is no longer able to sustain my bad habits.
I need to start sleeping regularly, and exercising. Sure, I’ll have to rest after this operation, I even had to oxycodone buy and take it for the pain. What I’m saying is that once this is done I’ll be ready to give my all. It’s time for a major lifestyle change, and I feel ready for it.
How about you guys?
