It's finally done! LIMARC's web hosting company has moved our site to a new platform. This "new platform" is an updated version of the server they were using for LIMARC's site before. It should be more secure & hopefully better in many ways. They brought back our Photo Galleries and now I need all who have limarc.org emails to send themselves their limarc.org email to their regular email account and make sure it gets to you. If it doesn't - please contact me at <web 'at' limarc 'dot' org> or at <n2tka 'at' limarc 'dot' org> so I can get it fixed. If you have any problems with anything, please let me know, so that I can get it resolved. There are many pages that are in the process of updating, but if you see an error, feel free to let me know.
Tnx all & 73, Nancy N2TKA

The Technician level Ham Radio Operator One Day Class given by Nassau ARES in association with LIMARC was a GREAT success!

Are you interested in any level of Ham radio one or two class to either become a ham or upgrade? Lew N2RQ, LIMARC's Education Chairman would like to know who is interested in what level of class, be it Technician, General or Amateur Extra and how many days you would want to be in a class. All one or two day classes require intensive studying in advance and the short classes are to help in areas you didn't understand on your own and to give help right before taking an exam. Please contact Lew N2RQ at and let him know if you are interested, so he can put together some classes.

The March General Meeting was a great success and a video created by George WB2HPI (using the photos taken by Ray W2RFR) about a “A Year In The Life of LIMARC (2007)” was shown and is now online, but may take a bit of time to load. Wait a few minutes, it'll be worth the wait! Check it out at the Photo Album page; it's the first on the list. Enjoy! Many thanks to George WB2HPI and Ray W2RFR.

LIMARC eLogs Available Online

The Swap n' Shop Net now follows the Info Net on Monday evenings. The Info Net Controls will rotate due to the sudden passing of our longtime Net Control Lew W2BIE/SK and the Swap n' Shop Net Control will be Bill WB2CUK. The Info Net starts at 8:30 pm.

A new LIMARC Reflector has been started. Go to this section to either join or find the link to read messages.

The default setting for the Reflector is to send you an email for each post. You don't need to get these emails to be part of the Reflector, you can change your settings so that you can get one email a day, with the days postings - that's called the Digest version. Or you can choose to get no emails, but to read the posted messages on the Yahoo! Groups Reflector site. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LimarcInc/ If you have a problem changing your settings, just post on the Reflector and ask that your setting be changed for you by a Moderator. It will be done ASAP.
