Remember you must retrain every other year to maintain your Skywarn certification. Again this year the TCRC will sponsor two Skywarn training classes. One will be March 6, 2010 and the other May 22, 2010. Both classes are free and open to all. They will run from 9AM until 1PM. Bring a pencil.
Classes are held at the Open Circle Church, 2400 Highland Drive, Burnsville. Look on the calendar for links to directions.
If these classes won't work for you, the complete list of MetroSkywarn spotter training classes for 2010 is located on the Metroskywarn web page.
Questions? Call Jeff, WØKF, 952-927-0201.

100Hz tone now required on 147.21
The long awaited 100 Hz CTCSS tone (PL for you Motorola fans) is now on the 147.21 repeater. This means you must transmit a 100Hz subaudible tone in order to open up the repeater.
Kevin is also experimenting with a PL "wakeup" mode which would require a 100Hz tone every 5 minutes. This will allow a conversation with someone without a tone as long as the other person has a tone.
Kevin is also experimenting with a dtmf wakeup mode where transmission of a * (lower left corner of your keypad) would be required every 5 minutes.

Four Repeaters on Four Bands!
Which organization is the only one to have FOUR REPEATERS ON FOUR BANDS? The Twin Cities Repeater Club, of course!!
We have repeaters on 6 meters (53.37MHz, 100Hz tone), 2 meters (147.21MHz, 100Hz tone), 1.25cm (224.54MHz, 100Hz tone), and 70cm (444.3MHz, 114.8Hz tone). Give them all a try.
No, you don't have to be a member of the TCRC to use our machines. However, at $25.00 per year why not join us?
