Back on the air on 2 meters mobile (in the car) this evening. Happily, #WB8TKL was also mobile and we had a short QSO.

It had been kind of a long time since I had been on the air, but amazingly enough the Ni-MH batteries in my old Kenwood HT still held their charge. Making a point to recharge them back to full tonight.

ARROW (Washtenaw County Michigan / #AnnArbor area, #EN82 ) annual meeting tonight at the Saline library. Election of officers, plans for next year's meetings, white elephant gift exchange. Thanks to Steve #N8LBV the outgoing technical coordinator, and congratulations to Jay #WB8TKL the incoming technical coordinator.

It was a hybrid meeting (in person and Zoom), and I have a suspicion that the Zoom participants got a less than awesome meeting out of it. It was good to see people in person.

The #W8RP #DMR repeater is back working in Ann Arbor, MI due to the work of Dinesh @AB3DC and Jay #WB8TKL and the Brandmeister team. For reasons (as of yet unexplained) the server was out of sync with call signs so no audio was getting thru, tho connections were being acked.

Every day at 1600 EDT (2000 UTC) we host a "shut-in roundtable" on DMR Michigan statewide, BM 3126. All are welcomed, and we had a check-in from #M1MRB on 3/27.

73!
