Last weeks Technology Net was on Fox hunts. A file can be found on the K0GQ web site. No net next week.

[Tim-Elyria]

Sure hope they fix the audio for the next net , the one for the fox hunt was horrible , i almost tunred it off several times, sounded like the instructor was useing a poorly set up VOX and it kept chopping in and out. Maybe the audio setup shou8ld be tested out before it goes live .

But other nets have been fine and i enjoy them , keep up the good work .
