SteveGibbs Posted December 27, 2024 Report Posted December 27, 2024 Calling all South Central Tennessee GMRS Club members! We're excited to announce a special New Year's Eve check-in as our first club activity of the year. This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow members and test out your radios on different repeaters. Here's the rundown: Date: December 31st, 2024 Goal: Hear from as many members as possible on each of our area repeaters. Schedule: We'll be following a specific schedule to ensure everyone has a chance to check in on multiple repeaters. Here's the breakdown: Time Repeater Host Callsign 8:00 PM - 8:10 PM 94 Thompson's Station 625 WSBM 443 8:15 PM - 8:25 PM 94 Brentwood 600 WSBM 443 8:30 PM - 8:40 PM Gallatin 650 Volunteer Needed 8:45 PM - 8:55 PM 94 Grassland 650 WSBM 443 9:00 PM - 9:10 PM Murfreesboro 725 Volunteer Needed 9:15 PM - 9:25 PM 94 Fairview 700 Volunteer Needed Check-In Process: At the designated time for your chosen repeater, the host will announce the start of the check-in. To check in, simply broadcast: "This is [Your Callsign] checking in from [your Location] wishing everyone a Happy New Year." The host will acknowledge your callsign and provide a signal report. After each acknowledgement, the next person can proceed with their check-in. Once everyone has checked in, the host will clear the channel for regular traffic. Volunteering as a Host: If you're willing to volunteer as a host on a repeater that needs one, simply identify yourself as the host at the designated time and begin the check-in process. Let's Make it a Great Night! We hope to hear from as many of you as possible on New Year's Eve! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us through the club messaging system on myGMRS.com or post on our club forum. Happy New Year from the South Central Tennessee GMRS Club! WSBM 443 Steve
WSDV406 Posted December 29, 2024 Report Posted December 29, 2024 WSDV406 here. Jeffrey, in Hermitage. I am VERY likely able to host the Gallatin 650 check-in. Do you want to add the Lebanon repeater at 462.675 and nashville (love circle) repeater at 462.575 to the list? I might could host those too. Those repeaters aren't super active, but they have a wide footprint like the brentwood and gallatin repeaters.
SteveGibbs Posted December 29, 2024 Author Report Posted December 29, 2024 Jeffery, Thanks for hosting the Gallatin 650 check-in. I started out with a longer list of repeaters but cut it back when the schedule was getting too long. If this works out and we do it again on another holiday, we can change up the list.
