CQ CQ CQ - Who's out there?

Same here. The RV is too small for doing radio voice comms so I stick with digital stuff. I have been working with the the new FreeDV digital voice program. Like JT9 it’s fairly new and the software is still maturing. The latest JT9 has some great new features and the same with FreeDV. Do you use eQSL/AG? I’m trying to qualify for some certificates :wink:

Yes, I do eQSL/AG as well as LOTW. I can do 10 meters thru 80 meters and I see a lot of California stations on most days, so we can probably make a few QSO’s on different bands

W0PSK, currently active 10 through 160 meters off a vertical antenna mounted on a chain link fence post 4 foot off the ground. Working primarily digital PSK and JT65. And I occasionally work phone just to make sure the microphone still works.

long time no hear meadowlark :wink:

Hi Don, I’ll be looking for you on JT65 now that I’m in Kansas :smiley:

Well Brian, after spending 7 years (since 2005) keeping the Oregon Scientific running, it finally gave up the ghost with a wind reading only - snagged me a Vantage Vue at a discounted price and now I have more time to read other items in the forum instead of searching for OS fixes :lol: And then I decided to move WD, data etc., to another computer and got that accomplished without having a copy of the original serial number, thanks to a good Wiki on how to transfer everything over.

Week long and pretty much error free, except this afternoon I keyed up a 2 meter xmitter and some RF must have gotten into something and about an hour later the station showed a 53mph gale wind - something wrong there as that just didn’t happen.

Very good Dan, hopefully my signal on the vertical won’t top over you - I can get into Ottawa (K0ASK) - he runs JT65 in the QRP mode. I’ve been running on 160 last couple of nights trying to help out a fella in New Jersey get his WAS. Anyway, we’ll catch up with you.

Kevin ZL3JS here, mainly on HF with a little digi modes thrown in. Don’t get to much time these days but normally manage to turn the gear on most Sundays… Having said that you watch something come along and upset that.

Back in the CB days of the 70s I was KAAA 8324 The Flyin Saucer

Waiting to put up a 40m windom so I can get back on the air after many years of inactivity. Hope to have contacts with my brother G4AYO instead of emails and Skype!

Hi all M0ZIF here, from Sunny Lancaster UK, I am currently running a Kenwood TS2000X into a Heatherlite Explorer Linear and using a Hustler 7-BTV (soon to become a bit bigger with 12m. 60m and 160m mods) I also have a transvertor for 4m feeding a Halo loop (Currently) and on VHF I have a 3 ele on 6m, 7 ele on 2m 56ele on 70cm and 55 ele on 23cm. So just because I have no yard space doesn’t mean I don’t get out :slight_smile:

73 for now

Welcome :smiley: Nice set up :thumbright:

Hi Martin. It’s sunny in Blackpool too :slight_smile: I think you may be the closest forum member to me…unless anyone knows differently?

embayweather would be the next closest I think.

Mostly active on VHF/UHF, have some antenna challenges at home… But aim to be active on HF:)

Hi Chris, long time no speak or hear, like you I have been QRT for a while (15 years), but I now on a catch learning curve, setting up APRS and WD, I am not sure which is the most infuriating hi hi…what happened to the old simple AX25…looks like there has been a competition to create the most difficult app’s to use.

Anyhow nice to see you are still about (if not on AR)

73 Dave (G4PGO) Ex Sysop GB7LDX and LIV Nodes

Hi Dave. Nice to hear from you again. You’ll find lots of WD and APRS experts in the forum if you’re having problems.

I must admit to not having kept up with AX25 over the intervening years. I guess it’s still going strong. I hope to get back on AR eventually but it will probably be a while before I get the chance to do that.

happy birthday Chris…
:occasion6:

before the day ends for you in a few hours time…I thought I better put a happy birthday wish out there on the forum
since I have not seen any others
thanks for running the forum for another year!

(my birthday was yesterday…have not seen any birthday wish from anyone on the WD forum…oh well…I get the message…)

Well a belated Happy Birthday to you both. I normally just look at unread messages and seldom see the birthdays on the main forum page.

Sorry. - Jim

I agree!!! A belated happy birthday to both of you! :oops:
