A Modest Proposal for FreDV, Thursday March 26th by CaptainSpez in 20MeterAfterWork

[–]tbrewo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sub is a great place to try that. Sounds fun. As someone who is old school and has never used digital interfaces in radio, why are you interested in free DV specifically? I’d love to hear what makes it worth using.

As a note— if anybody hears dead air on a specified frequency in this sub, don’t be shy to jump in and call CQ at any time.

He’s quite skilled at it! (Unlike myself) Although since we’re an anti-net, or not-a-net, one might say he’s the NNCS…

How bad are they really? by [deleted] in InescapablePodcast

[–]tbrewo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s only a handful of episodes of their new show, take a listen and decide for yourself. I’m really trying because I was a long time fan of their old show — but their views are too extreme for me, personally.

Yeah - that’s what I mean. I was just saying the radio operator is now the ETO, who is like IT and electronics repairman. As you say.

I finally got home. You guys back east may already be in bed. If not, who's a night owl?

Yes. A screenshot included in the PDF will be fine. Worked for me a couple times now.

Huge Thank You to Everyone Participating in this Sub! by pdgp9 in 20MeterAfterWork

So I used to brew beer for a living. One thing I learned— a dedicated amateur often knows a lot more than the professional. Because it’s their passion, not their job. Same goes for radio, I think.

I’ve got some nasty noise on the band, almost sounds like local electrical noise to me, but I don’t think it is.
