My Week in Radio
- I met some 985ers on Friday morning at the tailgate and breakfast.
- I heard a bit of the ARISS mission talking to students last week
- I have APRS working
- UV-K5 running egzumer
- VOX mode
- Sensitive
- Pixel 6 Pro
- Volumes way up, nearly 100%
- BTech audio cable
- APRSDroid
- AFSK mode
- Saw decodes on the phone
- Saw myself show up on https://aprs.fi map
- UV-K5 running egzumer
- Evolve 3 laptop is working with Linux completely:
- network
- sound
- used it for a pota activation
- Time to also slim down the go box for POTA as it’s gotten heavy.
- 2m dipole in the tree working well for a couple weeks,
so it’s time to change.
- next: try building a ground-plane quarter-wave with radials
- it’ll feed better from the bottom
- Trying other firmware on the Quansheng radios
- mixes of features I want and don’t want
- W3FIS, Paul Ross, sent me a small box of some radio gadgets to explore
- I’ve been seeing people recommend using a CW decoder
- maybe try the decoder in my radio
- get some practice keying, instead of waiting
- York Hamfest is on Saturday
