North Louisiana Link System - We sponsor the hub repeater, N5RD, located in Bryceland for the link
system. Our own member, Bill Sullivan, trustee for both N5RD-147.300 and
KB5PKW-145.430, maintains the repeaters. The link opens the I-20 corridor
for communications from stateline to stateline. Skywarn and other emergency
communications that may arise may use the link as need dictates.
Meetings - Our monthly meetings are held on
the third Saturday of every month at the Exacta Inn, located in Minden just north
of I-20 at the Minden/Sibley exit. The meeting time 12:15pm, but we usually gather
to have lunch earlier (11:15 - 11:30pm). We welcome all - members, guests, amateurs,
and those who are merely interested in the hobby. Please come join us.
Weekly Net - Every Tuesday evening at 8:00pm
we hold an informal net over the linked repeaters. Anyone with a valid amateur
license is welcomed and encouraged to check-in.
Public Service - MARA is designated as a Special Service Club. We
participate in many events during the year. These have included Mardi Gras
parades, walk-a-thons, bike-a-thons, the Caney Lake Triathlon as well as
Skywarn when the need arises. We are also availble for any communication
needs of north Louisiana.
Skywarn (K5SHV) - Operation out of Shreveport uses 146.670 as the
primary repeater. If weather to the east dictates warnings being issued, the
North Louisiana Link System is used to alert users as far to the east as the
Mississippi state line.
