Friday Night HAM Radio NET

[M Rose]

I have a EFHW portable. I was talking more about truly mobile. Bi have never found the 80M ham stick to tune up very well. The 80M rig is more for camping when there is more time to play with a set up.... relax with a cold drink.... play on the radio. Sounds like I need to go camping.

Wolf River Coils makes a good 75/80m antenna as well as the Tarheel Screwdriver Antenna.

Yes you need to go out and camp.

We just need a dedicated server running EchoLink connected to the internet… the server doesn’t even have to be able to connect to a radio.

Sounds like a job for a solid dedicated server hosting setup! No need for a radio—just a stable connection and a reliable host like HostNoc to keep things running smooth. Who knew EchoLink could thrive without actual radios? The future is wild!

This post sparked my interest as I miss the EchoLink nets we use to have. Since I have a homelab I launched a EchoLink conference node. Just waiting for approval now. I’ll keep you all posted and if it works out we may have a dedicated EchoLink conference for overlanding discussions.

There is a new EchoLink conference room out there called *Overland*. Now we need some people to run the net as I’ve got small children so not allot of time to run it every month. Also need to get a few people on it and test it out with a group to see how it runs.

Do you have a best time to test? I'm in a different timezone to the US.

I can also run the net sometimes, provided it doesn't become every week.

I am on there now. I heard you throw out your call sign, but I am unsure if you heard me.

Awesome. Thank you for your initiative. I will install EchoLink again and will be happy to join you from time to time when there is a talk round. Great!
