I belong to the Delaware Valley Radio Association in West Trenton, NJ. W2ZQ. We're a large club with a dedicated station building near the Mercer County Airport (our club house), including a full EME installation. We're just south of Princeton University so we have quite a few club members who were employed there, some as professors. Joe K1JT is a member. Right now my friend Bob K2KEM and I have been meeting on Tuesday afternoons to experiment with Hercules-MVS. Bob is a retired programmer from the university's business department and I retired from state government service. We're having a lot of fun figuring this out. We both dabble in amateur radio astronomy as well and have to admit that our newfound interest in Hercules/MVS is pulling at us pretty hard. I'm documenting our learning curve so that others in the club might become interested but I have to keep in mind that it's a radio club. If you're available on Tuesdays between 1:00PM and 4PM EDT we could Zoom you in, but we're not always sitting at the table. Sometimes we're deep in a QSO on 10. I might try to create an EchoLink group were we can focus on this as well and I would love to get the group's thought as yours as to how we can expand interest in this. Maybe a Zoom group or something? Does one exist?
Right now I have tk4- running on a Akamai/Linode VPS and tk5 on my laptop. When it comes to this, I feel like I'm back in my novice days.
