Always leave plenty of time for folk to come back to your CQ call. Even better call again as there can be a delay on the network depending on how people connect.

We keep our 2 networks separate so you will always have a choice. FM or C4FM and if one network is busy you can hop over to the other to put out a call.

I just learned this, so, in case anyone else needs to know:

A #Yaesu #FT70DR can be powered by its charger as long as you don’t have the battery in.

My #YSF #PiStar is going to see a lot more use now that I don’t have to remember to keep my HT charged.

This is also going to make the #digirig I just ordered a lot more useful. I can put off buying a mobile radio that much longer now :D

Now to hack together a car 12V wire. . .

Well this evening I had a really good chat to friend in Germany via a #YSF reflector in the UK, and I was doing #DMR2YSF cross-over at my end and it worked really well, it was my first really world test for a #QSO of 30min plus with no real dropouts or distortion etc.

Very happy with my #W0CHP #PiStar #Dash doing the hard work of coverting DMR TG to YSF reflector as there was no real transcoding done as DMR & YSF use the same vocoder.

Join us this morning at 7am UK Time for the fabulous Squirrel Net. An hour of nutty conversation and our international Squirrel friends are always welcome. Bring your own acorns. It’s a lot of fun.

Not really active on digital voice modes, but nevertheless I do have a hotspot running Pi-Star, and I came across this new (to me) customized fork to get a new look and extra features. More info on the builder's page, W0CHP.

Do you think we've had enough closed, irreproducible, proprietary digital modes contaminating the #hamradio hobby (#ROS, #VARA, #DMR, #YSF, #DSTAR, etc.)? Well, now we've got #LORA for #APRS.

No: ham radio should be based on open, free standards. There are plenty of free, open, well documented digital modes (#FT8, #JS9, #WSPR, #M17, #PSK, #Olivia, #RTTY) in addition to the oldest-ever digital mode (#CW). Please support ways of operation everyone can inspect, modify, or build a radio around.

Join us every day at 7:00 UK time for an hour of nutty chat on The Squirrel Net. Bring your own early morning cuppa or late night coffee depending on where in the world you are.
