and RSVP to receive the Zoom link.You can also email me
(rebecca(a)ardc.net <mailto:rebecca@ardc.net>) for the link if you prefer.
If you did not attend our training workshop on Tuesday, we will hold
another Portal Training Workshop immediately before the Ticket Party at:

Hi folks,
As some of you may have already seen, this week we are welcoming
Schuyler Erle N0GIS to our team as our new Director of Technology.
You can learn a bit more about him in this blog post:
https://www.ardc.net/meet-schuyler-erle-n0gis-ardcs-new-director-of-technol…
Schuyler is one of two hires that we decided to make during the
interview process for our tech team lead. The second one - who has been
part of 44Net for a number of years – will be starting with us in just
over a month. I look forward to introducing him to you as well.
In the meantime, welcome Schuyler!

As you might have noticed, there was no weekly update last week. As I
live in an area that was heavily impacted by Hurricane Helene, I was
without power and cell service. As we’ve got backup power running at my

updates from this week regarding 44Net and our Technology Department:

Hi all,
I recently made a CNAME record from @.na1cl.ampr.org to my gateway at
rtr-nj1.na1cl.ampr.org, but ran into issues using it. When I looked at
the DNS records that were actually created, it looks like this:
na1cl.ampr.org. 86400 IN CNAME rtr-nj1.na1cl.ampr.org.ampr.org.
Which does not match the portal help text of "enter a fully qualified
domain name terminated with a period". In addition, it looks like
there's no option to edit already-created resource records from the
portal. Is there a planned feature to edit resource records and clarify
the help text?
Thanks and 73,
Cara NA1CL
