Somebody was recently asking here what the Houston ECHO Society was about, and how it differs from BVARC. Although now called a "general interest" club, it's original interest when founded in 1974 was to promote and provide emergency and public service communications in the Houston area.
Several of its members (myself included) are still very active in EmComm and public service comms, and devoted to ECHO's original purposes. Of course, many of us are also members of BVARC, which is a much larger group - hey, we all like hanging with people who like radio, eh?. If EmComm interests you, you might want to attend the following presentation about how many of us (SHARES, MARS, ARES, etc.) communicate on HF - MT63 using FLDIGI. ALL INVITED: The Georgia AUXCOMM <https://www.gaauxcomm.org/newsletter> group is presenting a class on FLDIGI with MT63 on Thursday, June 25 from 7:00 – 8:00pm (our time). Go to https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/990306637 You can also dial in by phone - (571) 317-3112, access code 990-306-637. They'll record the session & make it available on their new YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwtgAs5ps7IZI-zSRPMZqiA Gus Bernard, KG5OFB Houston ECHO Society
