Connecting to the WHITE MOUNTAIN REPEATER ASSOCIATION I welcome your connection! However, there are several basic guidelines that should be considered. USERS OF WMRA All users of Digital modes and Allstar/Asterisk are welcomed into the System. Please check your microphone levels before you connect to the system. Please maintain a 3-second delay between transmissions so that others stations can get into the system and the conversation. This also allows all the various links to drop. There is a automated delay in all aspects of the Digital modes and Allstar/Asterisk. Please try and follow the 3-minute rule. LET IT DROP all the way wait 3 seconds. All aspects of basic amateur radio guidelines and protocol should be followed at all times. This entire system is a RF based LINKS and REPEATERS If you are wishing to connect a simplex link or repeater. First and foremost. No Courtesy tones or ID's are allowed to be transmitted into the network. ALL RF Links MUST have a CTCSS tone. Please setup your node to disallow DTMF. Simplex links have NO OFFSET. Repeaters have OFFSET either + or -. DO NOT CALL CQ ON THIS SYSTEM ITS BAD ETIQUETTE WHEN YOU'RE ON THE WMRA YOU MUST GIVE YOUR CALL SIGN WHEN CONTROLLING YOUR REPEATER OR SIMPLEX NODE. PLEASE ID WITH YOUR CALL SIGN EVERY 10 MINUTES 47 CFR § 97.119 - Station identification This is a zero-tolerance policy of the system. NO TALKING ABOUT POLITICS OR RELIGION ON THIS SYSTEM. CONNECTING TO DIGITAL MODES ALLSTAR, ECHOLINK, IAX-RPT, DMR, BRANDMEISTER, TGIF, YSF, P25, NXDN AND D-STAR I have tried my best to reduce all of the noises from digital, Please don't complain about a noise you can hear on the system. If you are using RF for that mode most likely you won't hear these noises. But if you are on app like droid star and dvswitch mobile. You will probably hear these noises I LOOK FORWARD TO YOU BECOMING A PART OF THE WHITE MOUNTAIN REPEATER ASSOCIATION |
