Threw 19 over, but ended up finding another disc, so I call that a win after not playing for 2-3 months.

Couldn't keep a connection to the downtown repeater though, and didn't have the foresight to program in a closer repeater that covered the TG.

Now the question is do I wander around the nearby Ham Radio Outlet or go home and clean the garage? Lol.

Out for some at Shawnee Park in Plano, TX. Not sure if I can reach the Dallas N4MSE repeater downtown consistently, but I managed to kerchunk it so I can monitor talk group on , hopefully.

Apropos of nothing - but mostly to ensure that interested people have a hashtag they can look for/refer people to - I'm going to call this .

I've never set up a net before, but the DV network seems like an appropriate and convenient place to try.

Right now the idea is we're going to pick a day of the week, and then alternate between Tech and General classes online. I'm happy to record these and maybe throw them up on a instance for people to access later, and that way we can provide for a wider audience outside of this specific org.

I'm happy to hear any input, questions, or suggestions from fellow , so feel free. I'm happy to discuss further, this all kind of came to me in a rush this morning, lol.

I'm not looking for anyone to take on everything, I'm looking for many hands to make the work a little lighter. If you want to help proofread/edit slides, actually talk these folks through classes, provide demonstrations of different operating modes, whatever you feel willing to contribute.

Honestly, it'd be helpful just to have more experienced hams who value inclusivity (of which there is no shortage amongst ) who are willing to Elmer and answer questions in a Discord channel.

Macht hier jemand was mit LoRaAPRS und vor allem Lilygo-Platinen? Mein Windows (ja, schlagt mich..) mag nicht mehr mit dem zukünftigen APRS-Digi. Hats da irgendein Windows Update gegeben, wo generische Treiber für USB/RS232-Interfaces geändert wurden?

Checking my connections after a difficult copy of a QSO with @W8HF on the network - I have all of the fans going here to keep the place cool and I think the background noise turned to garble.

Hey folks! I forgot to publish last week's check-in list (from 8/18/23). We had 15 check-ins.

Take a look at it and see what you fellow are interested in doing or learning in ham radio!

Well. Walked outside while I was packing the kiddo up in the car, keyed the repeater and got a handshake. Brandmeister shows me hitting the repeater to access the talkgroup.

Wonder if the repeater goes analog only at night or something? Very interesting.

For what it's worth, I have been monitoring on YSF since mid-morning CDT today.

Only one I've heard was myself, testing to verify it was connected.

Hopefully this afternoon there might be some activity.

I need to try again to get into via my OpenSpot4pro.

Though I can only do that if there's a Yaesu C4FM way to do it.

I THOUGHT I'd found the right thing to connect to, but... crickets... like MOST "rooms" and whatnot.

@kj7uzz @Geojoek hey, same here! Got interested for emcomm after the first Big Freeze in Texas, and as I looked into it, POTA/SOTA started looking really cool.

Hoping to have a HF rig before long so I can join the rest of the on the air

Well I think I have my DMR handheld set up to connect to the BM TG 2630002 - net. Although I started with DMR some time ago, I’m still a beginner - it’s pretty complicated! I’m accessing via a hotspot since DMR in the south-east of England is, like all V/UHF, non-existent. Apparently the BM TG has heard me call, but the TG is quiet.

@ingalls

Q5. How often do you use internet-connected ham radio tools such as EchoLink, D-STAR, APRS, etc.?

A5. There are a couple of weekly nets here in Michigan with good traffic. I will check the network as well from time to time to see all of the digital access paths that Michael @DK1MI + crew have put together. And sometimes I'll turn on APRS on my phone to beacon out location when I'm bicycle mobile.
