Hi Ken, ddclient is one of the older clients, and it will automatically update a domain name when your IP changes. Google Domains supports dynamic DNS for free, as does namescheap. Adam N7AJK

W7ABD memorial
Tom WA7TBP
Hello all:
Ralph, Paul and I attended the family memorial for Jim yesterday. The family asked me to pass on their thanks to all SNOVARC members for being good friends with Jim. Jim's wife and brother told me that Jim talked about us all the time. Jim's family told us stories about Jim and then shared a delicious meal on top of that. The three of us were made to feel like we had been a part of their family for a long time. It was a very nice way to honor our SK Jim.
Hope all of you had a good week-end.
73,
Tom

Pi Ip email
Hi all,
A couple weeks ago I added a nifty script with cron on one of the Pi boxes. This could be very helpful for those that remote into things that do not have static IP address.
The quick description is cron runs program every 10 minutes to check IP to the internet and if it has changed sends a Gmail to myself with the new IP address. Very helpful for any drops and or power fails if away from home.

Appropos of nothing.... as a best practice, I usually identify before and after doing an echo test
-- "K7BGG, testing"
-- DTMF codes, etc, then
Not sure if strictly required, but seems like good etiquette.

Re: Echo Test
Echo test can be done with DTMF 123 un-key and wait for the repeater to say ready, key up and speak then un-key the repeater will play back audio. If you want to use IRLP or EchoLink test that is a little different procedure.

Quick question – if still active, how do I do the echo test on the Cougar Mtn Repeater? Thank, Bob KI7RMO

Re: Repeater interference
Good Afternoon,
I did not hear this today and looking a tropo maps it seems possible this was from the Oregon repeater on the same pair. It happens from time to time but could not get a good ID on it, but have had this in the past. Regardless not an huge issue if this is the case. My main worry was rouge setting up low power station for other things.

If we do have some interference from another person or group we need to inform WWARA. But we will need more info to tell them. So please everyone when you get a chance listen and see what or who you can hear and let me know. Thanks

Re: Interesting Site
I really like their Signal Sticks for HT antennas. About the best reception I’ve found compared to other HT antennas and they are very light and flexible. I have three of them.

Repeater interference
Hi all, Just wondering if others have listened to transmissions on the output of the repeater 441.825? At first when listening on Thursday and Friday thought it might be tropo ducting but this came over in the weekend and today so makes me wonder as this effect has not seemed to last as long from Oregon as in the past. Please listen as ID is in code and someone might be running a system on our output frequency locally, node or some other link. I do not see any issues at this time as not on the input but also should not be on the output if not Oregon. Ken W7ECK
