Announcements:
The April 6 D-Star Net will take place on Reflector 56C at 8 EDT but will be held from the home of KY4KD. EchoLink check-ins are accepted by going to KY4RW-L .
Thursdays at 7 pm CST, K5TAL hosts an all-digital net via a service called Quadnet Array (www.openquad.net). This service allows any form of digital voice to be routed so DMR users can hear D-Star and C4FM Fusion, D-Star can hear everyone, as can C4FM users. It also allows DV Dongle users to communicate likewise. The net is listed on the www.openquad.net website. If you have questions you can email me, wv5q@arrl.net, and I will do what I can to answer them. On the www.openquad.net web page (listed above) the Reflectors and Talkgroups for D-Star, DMR and Yaesu C4FM System Fusion are listed. Once you connect to any one of them, you are connected to all digital voice users. I will be using a free logging program called NetLogger that can be downloaded from netlogger.com. On Thursday before net I will start the program and you should be able to select K5TAL from the net list. You can see the list, and know who is up next. It also has an “Almost Instant Messaging” feature you can type a message to all. Don’t forget: you can listen to the HF 80 meter by going to www.n4dkd.com and enter the frequency and LSB. If you have an Apple device, there is a box to the right to enable audio for IOS.
Location for all net times was discussed and direction to www.legion.org/hamradio was provided.
