  1. operating notes: simplex ARPSC public service net following the weekly ARPSC regular net. I was on the air for about 45 minutes.

    My less than perfect antenna setup is better at TX than RX, and I haven't yet fully figured out the squelch on my Kenwood TK-790. I understand that several stations heard me.

    Matt #WS8U helpfully served as a relay, he is a few blocks away. But I think with better antenna placement + better squelch control that my 2 meter simplex setup can improve.

  2. 9 check-ins on the #W8RP Arrow DMR net just now, Matt #WS8U net control, 21 minutes run time. Stations from Ann Arbor, a few others in downstate Michigan, Marquette in the U.P., and several from Florida.

    Noted that this Saturday night net is now listed on the BridgeCom #DMR net listing:

    (I know that I've also seen longer lists of DMR nets, but as ever you never really know which ones are active until you try them.)

  3. CW: ARROW Saturday night DMR net

    Matt #WS8U net control. 5 check-ins, 13 minutes. We meet at 700p local time (Eastern) Saturdays on the Brandmeister TG 3126 "Michigan".

    I let people know that I hoped to make a QSO or two with Ohio this week in advance of the big game. (thinking of you @w8lt @W8HF @k8vsy )
