Veterans Media Services uses other media sources, besides the internet and television, to call attention to our veterans and the fine groups, like Dryhootch, who serve them. One of those other media sources is Amateur Radio. I’ve been a FCC licensed amateur radio operator since the early 1980s. These days I own and operate an internet radio link station under the call sign N9MBI, which gives myself and other Ham Radio operators global access to other link stations world wide. Even if your not a ham radio operator you can listen in to all the excitement on a household VHF/UHF scanner. You can listen by tuning into 146.445 on you VHF FM radio dial.

Quite often in my conversations with other ham radio operators I talk about our veterans and the many fine organizations here in SE Wisconsin that serves them. As a result, our website has gotten views from at least on country on every continent except Antarctica.

On Christmas and New Years day I will be hosting a very special edition of the World Wide Tech Net. It will be simulcast on the Milwaukee Repeater Club’s repeater for all to hear in SE Wisconsin. The frequency for that repeater is 146.910 on you VHF FM radio dial.

I’ll be promoting peace and good will throughout the world and will be, once again, encouraging folks world wide to visit our veterans wed site. If you would like your group’s site listed on our friends page, now would be a good time to send me your URL (link) so I can get it posted in time. We like to share web traffic with other veterans sites and would appreciate you posting a link to us on your website as well.

By the way, and before I forget, the time for the World Wide Tech Net is every Friday night from 7pm till 9pm.

That’s all for now. Have a safe and very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2010

Respectfully
David M Ryba
