You may also set up your mail client on any device to check your email, instructions for this are on the main page of the webmail login, before you enter the actual mailbox.

AECI will now be using Remind for all reminder and announcements. If you opt to use the app (recommended), you will also be able to send messages in a group chat. I have setup two classes for the club, one for all members that anyone can join, and one for the Board of Directors (this one must be approved after you join). Here are the steps to get setup on the service:

To only receive announcements via text message:
For Announcements text @aa0rc to 81010
For Board of Directors text @AECIBOD to 81010

To setup an account (you will need to do this first) and use either a browser or the Remind app (recommended), follow the link:
https://www.remind.com/join/aa0rc
For Board of Directors, once your account is setup, you can join the BoD Class by clicking on “Add Class” and entering @aecibod at the search bar. Once you join, I will have to approve you for the BoD Class.

If you have any questions, you can either check remind.com or get in touch with me.

We have run a coverage model of our VHF repeater, and from what we have learned from past experiences, this map is fairly accurate. Of course, nothing is guaranteed. This map is based on the assumption that you will be talking on a base or mobile radio.

Our new digital mode repeater is now online!  You are more than welcome to use this repeater for Slow Scan TV, PSK, and any other digital format you would like.  This repeater can also be used for phone on a secondary basis.  Feel free to try it out! The frequency is 443.425+ no tone.

Stay tuned! We will be working on adding more stuff to the website and giving the site a little refresh. With everyone’s busy schedule and life’s happenings, it seems that this site is the first thing to get neglected, so I am going to do my best to keep it updated and refreshed. If there is anything you like to see us add to the site, please leave us a comment and tell us what you would like to see!

AECI is now on Twitter, please follow us @aa0rc

Well, the day finally got here!  It took us almost a year to complete this project, but everything is installed in the new site.  We are currently running coverage tests to see what kind of difference our new antenna and feedline made.  Currently, we are still using our old repeater at the new site.  But stay tuned! We have more upgrades in store for this site!

Without support of the community, this project would not have been possible.  AECI would like to thank the following for making this happen:

• Allen P. and Josephine Green Foundation
• Griffin Foundation
• KWWR/Country 96
• Edmonston Foundation
• Kingdom Telephone Internet Service
