Great net tonight everybody! Below are my (rough) notes. Feel free to correct or add to the notes. You can see we talked quite a bit about APRS and I hope to have a dedicated net soon to dig in deeper. Any thoughts for other net topics? Have a great weekend everyone! 73, Ed N7PHY Overland...

Sorry to hear you are loosing connection Jon. Let us know if you find the culprit and it's something that may benefit the group. Hope you can make it in there tonight. 73, Ed N7PHY

Hi Don Congratulations on the new call sign! Yes, there sure are a lot of linked systems in this allstar network. And OB members often add a couple more repeaters on Friday evenings. Sorry I didn't follow up to the day change question. There really hasn't been much discussion one way or the...

Hello Everyone, I'll be your net control this week for the Overland Bound Ham Radio Net on Echolink. No specific topic, just checking in with everyone. I did get a new (to me) VHF/UHF rig for my truck which supports APRS. I would be interested to hear if you use APRS and how you are using it...

Thanks Ryan. Appreciate the thoughts and please keep us in mind if you get free on Fridays. We can really use the help. 73 Ed N7PHY

Greetings Everyone! I hope everyone is healthy and safe. The net controllers have been mulling over a couple of options to make attending and running the net a little easier. They are; 1) Move the net to a different night of the week. Sunday evening has been suggested but may compete with...

I believe you could setup a hotspot then connect to one of the allstar nodes but I'm afraid I've not dabbled in that bit of amateur radio yet. Check out the White Mountain site for connected nodes and repeaters for a place to start. http://wmrasystem.com/ If you send a message to the site via...

We had a pretty lively net tonight. Thanks to everyone who could make it. My note taking is getting worse and worse but here are a few words if you couldn't make it. 73! Ed N7PHY Overland Bound Amateur Radio Net Announcements NCS: N7PHY Ed Suggestion to move net to bi-weekly...

Hello Everyone, I'll be your net control this week for the Overland Bound Ham Radio Net on Echolink. Our topic this week is mobile HF setups; radios, antennas, etc. I'm also curious if anyone uses their mobile rigs to participate in contest roving, parks on the air, and other programs. If you...

We do not have a net control operator yet for this week. Topic is at the discretion of net control but I have some ideas if it falls to me. Standby Mike, I'll invite you to our net control thread and try to share the schedule spreadsheet with you. Ed

To echo Mike's request, we need some help if the net is going to continue. Anyone willing to jump in and take a Friday? Thanks! Ed N7PHY

Hey Mike. The DX Commander is everything you described. I have the classic (I think that's what it's called) version running 40 through 10 meters. The setup time for me is around 15 minutes, a little longer in freezing rain, and compresses down to a very light, portable package for transport...

We briefly talked about Winter Field Day during last weeks net so I thought I'd share a couple of pictures from my effort. I went to the Olympic National Forest hoping to get to a nice hilltop location but was blocked by recent snow. I backed down the forest road to around 1500 ft level where...

Wow! The camper looks amazing Shane. Can't wait to hear all the details.

We had a great net tonight. Thank you everyone who was able to join. I mentioned on the net that Will, W8ILL was on frequency a little earlier. It was nice to chat with him and he mentioned he'll be joining his node to the StarLink node in the future. We talked about our preferred shelters when...

Good evening everyone. Tonight's net topic is overland shelters, what we use or what we'd like to have. Is there a preference between rooftop tents, ground tents, trailers, etc.? Hope everyone can make it tonight. 73 - Ed N7PHY Net Details Overland Bound Ham Radio Net Topic: Overland Shelters...

Hello Everyone, Reminder we have the OB Friday net tomorrow. Open topic so feel free to come with anything related to overlanding, radio, etc. Or just stop by and say Hi. Hope to hear you on the air tomorrow. 73 - Ed N7PHY Net Details Overland Bound Ham Radio Net Topic: Open Topic Net...

Calling all radio amateurs! That's how we open the Overland Bound ham radio net every Friday. Hopefully it's one way we announce that everyone is welcome. This is a plea to regular and new attendees alike. The cadre of net control operators have done a heroic job keeping the net active for...

I wondered where you went Jon. No worries, got you in the log anyway. Happy New Year!

Thank you everyone who joined the net tonight. We had a small group but a very lively discussion. Below are my raw notes which have some real nuggets of information worth investigating if you are looking for camp kitchen gear or the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich. 73 and Happy New...
