Febuary 5th 2026 - KC3OOK | W3GMS Roundtable
<p>Bill (KC3OOK) hosts the W3GMS 146.985 Thursday Roundtable with two prompts: what do you want to learn (or learn more deeply) this year, and what’s something you learned that you thought you’d never use—but did. The group ranges from ham topics like CW, antennas, verticals and ground systems, test equipment, FM satellites, and discrete RF design, to real-life learning like time management, estates/probate, teaching while learning, and even picking up acoustic guitar. The night also includes a quick incident report and fix for Echolink/AllStar connectivity, plus the usual mix of practical advice, project updates, and good repeater camaraderie.</p>

January 29 2026 - W3MFB | W3GMS Roundtable
<p>Mike (W3MFB) takes the chair on the W3GMS 146.985 Thursday Roundtable and pitches a practical idea: revive scheduled on-air “skeds” on bands like 6m/10m (and beyond), with everyone first meeting on the repeater and using 985 as the coordination/backchannel in case stations can’t hear each other direct. The group weighs the best day to run it (Tuesday/Wednesday get the most love), how often makes sense (monthly vs quarterly), and why it should stay separate from the Monday Workbench. Operators compare station capabilities and antenna plans for spring, discuss keeping it technician-friendly (10m/6m), and share quick notes from Winter Field Day and local simplex activity—ending with a welcome to a new check-in and some classic 985 off-script side chatter. </p>

January 22nd 2026 #496 - AF3Z | W3GMS Roundtable
<p>Net control Jim (AF3Z) opens the 146.985 Thursday Roundtable with two big prompts: what everyone noticed from the recent CME/solar flare activity, and the toughest operating conditions they’ve ever dealt with—dead bands, weird propagation, brutal heat/cold, station noise hunts, and more. Along the way, the crew trades real-world ham stories (including a Field Day “hydrate or regret it” moment you won’t forget), compares notes on what HF was doing during the event, and shares practical prep and coordination for Winter Field Day—now planned as a weather-driven, Saturday-only operation. A mix of technical talk, field-tested lessons, and the usual 985 camaraderie.</p>
