CW = Morse Code

   W5FC Repeater Webcast:

 

I also enjoy using the local 2 Meter and 70 cm repeaters while driving around Dallas or when I'm walking the dogs around White Rock Lake...  "Mutt Mobile"... with the Yaesu VX5R or VX6R.

My local repeater is W5FC  -  the Dallas Amateur Radio Club (DARC) repeater - on 146.880MHz.

I have heard people put police scanners on the web, but never an Amateur Radio Repeater. I thought it would be fun to try a Webcast. It was an interesting learning process. At first I had the address hidden, so only I could listen to the repeater while at work. Later I decided to allow general use. Since there are a few seconds delay, you can even use it to check your own signals into the repeater.

It is not the class of license that the Amateur holds,
but the class of the Amateur that holds the license.



In days of old, when ops were bold and sidebands not invented
The word would pass by pounding brass, and all were well contented.
