Feedback News Bulletins on the GRHub Network.

The first semi-automatic ARRL Audio News Bulletin on the ZS1I-L GRHub/Echolink Network at 20h00 last night was a great success. Great audio quality to listen to, forthcoming from the uLaw codec. I am currently busy modifying a bash script compiled by Doug WA3DSP to completely automate the ARRL and ARNews bulletins on one of the nodes. If successful I will be looking to automate the SARL and Amateur Radio Today bulletins as well. Keep your fingers crossed as my script modification ability is rather poor. I am also looking at setting up a fixed weekly schedule for broadcasting these bulletins. The final schedule will be posted here for those that are interested and would like to listen to amateur radio news and other bulletins. Once again the aim here is to keep our RF Frequencies occupied and hopefully create some activity.
