Downside of the #hamradio folks here in my county: lots of stress chattering on the #repeaters about their personal experience, with no breaks if there were emergency radio traffic. No net control. #emcomm #earthquake

Apparently 10m #repeaters this morning propagating from California to Boston, with people from Europe also checking in (!). Just heard KQ2H repeater (in #Manhattan #NY) identify. #hamradio

One of our local #repeaters down due to lack of enough battery/solar to handle a few rainy days; if you're planning a repeater site for disaster/emergency reasons, good to plan for those sort of things. (must note, same issues seen with some repeaters here for similar reasons, during wildfires) #hamradio #disasters

Heading to the coast today. I'll be monitoring the repeaters near Yachats & Waldport on the drive. #hamradio #repeaters

Useful table for ham radio people:
Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) Tone Squelch for communications aka Subchannels
https://www.hamradio.me/charts/ctcss-radio-squelch-tones.html

All this CTCSS stuff really is is a tone that is sent along with your voice to the receiving radio.

So I don't know whether to replace the #Linksys #Nighthawk #R8000 with a higher-end and more capable #router (such as #Ubiquiti, if I could afford such), or go with #repeaters (about the requirements of which I know nothing), or get an additional relatively low-end (read: #affordable) router and put the #IoT devices on a separate #subnet as originally ideated. Or something else. 🤔

Open to suggestions. Please. My #SBH is going spare about not being able to reach the printer.. 🙄🤪😔
