    Nice setup Jon! Did you fabricate the balun / feedpoint yourself? It looks clean. Nice camp spot as well! (try any fishing?)

    Hey Greg. Thank you for checking in tonight. I'm sorry we didn't get to you a bit earlier in the rounds but am glad you joined. Though it's a formally directed net, it's not a formal net. We check folks in in alphabetical order (first letter of call sign suffix), make announcements, then give...

    Hello everyone. Thank you everyone who checked-in or listened in via the web link. Below are my notes from tonight's net. This was honestly one of my favorites!

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    Hello KE0VFV . First off, congratulations and welcome to the HAM radio community! There is a lot to digest at first so try not to get discouraged with radio setup, etc. The chirp program mentioned above is a great way to program the VHF/UHF radios. You may need a special cable for your BF radio...

    Didn't intend the sarcasm though that is my usual mode of communication. Sorry to hear about the health woes, that does wear a guy down. Hang in there.

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    Hi Sarge368. I use direct connect via the home PC. I’ve heard the phone app can be a challenge. I’m not aware any repeater connections in our area but it’s on my list to investigate. Will likely have to talk a repeater owner into linking up with the EchoLink node for the duration of our net. Ed...
