Year 5, Week 17 July 28, 2021 The K5TAL Net on 80 meters was opened at 7 pm (0000z) on 3.862 MHz and had 19 check-ins. Good band conditions (considering summer 80 m lousy conditions). Listening on N4DKD also, EchoLink running but only taking text messages. Next week I will also take check-ins via D-Star Reflector 58B and any time between Wednesday and Friday on Winlink address wv5q@winlink.org. Practice your Winlink skills and use the net check-in template. WV5Q DON MS WA5GYM ANDY MS ND5V JOEY MS KB5PCI JIM MS WV1Q AL MS W5TUT ED MS W5TWZ TERRY MS KF5BA BOBBY MS

The Department of Mississippi has authorized a TALARC Coordinating Committee to assist posts to start clubs, individuals to get licensed and posts to connect with EOCs.
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. 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.
