Where can one get that flexible mast that was holding up the end fed antenna?

This was a fantastic QRP! I learned a lot about MeshTastic. And a special thanks to John and Russ for helping me to correctly configure my FT-5d for APRS. -K4ROG

I saw your FT-5D on APRS yesterday. Went to send you a message but I missed you by an hour. So many settings for APRS on Yaesu.

Thanks for coming out. I have to say in all my years in amateur radio, these events have stood out to be the ones I don't want to miss. They don't last long, but you can get a lot of ideas from folks seeing their setups and chatting with others on what they have been experimenting with. It's great to interact with everyone and it's the nicest bunch of folks I've had the pleasure to meet.

Thanks for watching. We won't have one in June as we will be focusing on Field Day. We post the flyers for the events at lwra.us/qrp as well as marking on the APRS maps at aprs.fi

D-star is one of my choices because it uses 6.25khz of bandwidth and its the only mode you can use on HF band. P25 is the Best mode i believe on VHF and Above because its using CQPSK modulation and the ability of AES256 Encryption.

Although I like NXDN, D-Star has become my favorite, especially for travel. I know if I get on a D-Star Gateway elsewhere that I can link to my local Gateway and chat with folks I know back home. My last two 1200 mile road trips it kept me company and in QSOs all the way home.

Only thing ill disagree on is newer analogue radios inc cb are now fitting NRC noise cancellation chips that do same as digital radios remove background road noise abd on rx side,maybe unaware of technology??

Orlando. A Crime ridden tourist town. Last Hamfest I went to was in Miami when the Dade Radio Club held them and used gear and real good junk was affordable. After the Hamcation Orlando started the local hamfests dried up. And Ebay is keeping prices high but has made stuff available that would not ordinarily be found in a local Hamfest. I dont expect to ever attend Hamcation for these reasons.

Beginner basic Ht's as door prizes for guys who have been hams for 30-50 years, many extra class?
@spurious_emissions 5 ай бұрын
Good observation. I noticed as the price screen scrolled how many of those there were. A 30-50 year extra class ham probably has a pretty good collection going now.

You probably could operate digital modes quite successfully on 5 watts. Would save even more on battery consumption & heating.

I think you would enjoy the hobby. There are many clubs that welcome and support new hams out there. Not sure what part of the country you are in but Hamcation is a great show to visit as well. If you do go this year perhaps I'll see you there. I do have getting started information about ham radio at delaney.rocks

Good video. I'm only commenting b/c a tech in Brookswille, FL has a hotspot with this software beaconing "DMR for APRS". Sorry NO. APRS is a cooperative RF network. It does not require Internet, DMR or DSTAR. In Florida APRS (ACTUAL APRS) is used for positioning reporting, WX on route of travel, and even email, with great success. This a is a cooperative network not reliant on the Internet at all. In fact, because its a cooperative network, there is no single point of failure, as with with a hotspot or DMR repeater. or DSTAR repeater. The hotspot software asking Hams to input their position coordinates are worthless. Those "hotspots" just clutter the APRS network with unusable 100Mw "stations". A "Hotspot" is not a station. It's a little bridge to the Internet. Worthless in any Emcomm situation. For Hams in Florida that would like to contribute to APRS, I provide the equipment see www.qrz.com/db/kk4one

My local hams told me they hate D-Star so i went with DMR so I could talk with them. But i quickly found out the limitations of DMR and how it made more sense for a business radio. D-Star fixes all the issues i had, mostly about sound quality, easier to just tell the repeater what zone you want, its like a digital version of “All-Star” … d-star is “best” for me. Now i have to find new friends. 😂
@spurious_emissions 11 ай бұрын
You'll find plenty of friends on D-Star. I used to hang out on REF024C but you'll find me on REF066D these days. One powerful feature is you can also connect directly to my local repeater/gateway at WC4PEM B. D-Star is my go to travel radio as I can't count on a DMR repeater to have a talkgroup to get back to folks in my area that lines up with any of the ones here. I know that sitting on my friends chair in Michigan that I can connect with my HT to the local W8DTW repeater and tell it to connect to my Gateway back in Florida. And in a moment, I'm chatting with my local friends. The other powerful feature I use now and then is Callsign Routing. Friends of mine, not sure where I am at, will use that and find me on the D-Star network. Yes, D-Star is old, but why can't I have all the functionality it provides in some of the other modes I use. Wires-X gives me some, but not as much as D-Star. So, when I travel, it's my D-Star HT I bring with me.
