12. The Handiham Remote Base station, W0EQO, is on line.   One user has reportedly been having success working DX with it.  Plans are in the works for another remote base, so that we can accommodate more users.  If you wish, you can connect to W0EQO-L through your Echolink computer application and listen to the Remote Base, and even control the frequency & mode by typing your receiver commands into the text box and pressing the <Enter> key.  Example: 10 <enter> will change the frequency to 10 MHz, and you should hear WWV. Press the letter A to change to AM mode.  Press L or U for Lower or Upper sideband.  Enter 3.925 to go to 3.925 MHz.  Enter the letter L <Enter> to change to lower sideband, which is used on 75 meters. If a control operator is using the station, the system will not let you change the frequency via EchoLink, but you can still listen. You will not hear the transmissions from the remote base in that case, just the receiver.
    

13. The first release of the Technician question pool effective July 1 2010 is now on line as modified by George LaValle, N0SBU. It is modified to show only the correct answers.  Any or our student members who are planning to take the Technician exam after June 30, 2010 should study from the new question pool. This is also a wake-up call for those of you who have not been studying regularly - the Technician test and all the study materials change on July 1, so get busy if you want to pass using the old question pool!
