Attached is a statistical analysis of our Winter Field Day QSO's (shenanigans).

We had a great turnout for yesterday's festivities! Thank you to everyone who showed up. We made a few contacts and shared plenty of BS. Thank you to the new faces that found there way here it was great meeting you for the first time. I had a lot of fun and can't wait to do more of these activities in the future. I think that this club is growing into something special.

I must have fumbled the sign up on the first go bc this weeks WL was full of responses from #MHR. I would have to say that if this net grows it's going to become unusable for HF WL users due to the large number of messages to download. I was quite impressed hearing/seeing the download speeds on the W0AYE-10 gateway. Total there were 11 messages, 14130 bytes received, 9595 bytes/minute and 1:28 session time.

I was able to make the new BaoFeng UV5R work with Winlink and VARA FM today!

Previously, I had reported it was incapable of doing Winlink VARA using it with a Digirig and the custom cable for Baofeng.

I thought I had tried opening the radio's squelch before (i.e. setting it to noisy), but apparently not.

Going in to the Baofeng UV5R menu squelch is item #1. Press menu then 0 then menu again.

?

Another setting that can be important is menu #35 STE (squelch tail eliminate).

It should be turned off.?

Same method as above.?

Else the radio sends a 55 Hz tone at the end of a transmission.

?

I tested mine with a 4k file and it was just as good as the old Baofeng and a rival to the FT-60.

Opening the squelch decreases the transmit to receive turnaround time to an acceptable speed.

The frugal ham smiles.

After signing up on the Minnesota Ham Radio Website on Wednesday an initial email is sent out with a question. Then everyone answers it there leisure and sends it with reply all. Come to think of it I didn't see your callsign in the To line. Maybe you fat fingered your sign up? IDK.

I didn't receive anything...wth

Leon, was it just the sign up or did I miss checking in?

I forgot about the ... thing. My email is KF0OUA atfor gmail dot com.

UPDATE!? I plan to have the festivities start at around 1300 CST.? I will have some snacks and things available.? There will be some bottled water as well.? Nourishment and hydration are of the utmost importance!? We will be using the club's callsign as I believe Ben has already set it up.? If you don't have a portable station, or are short on portable power, fear not! We will have some extras, and enough power that we could jumpstart Space-X if we were called upon to do so.? Show up with what you have even if its just a smiling face.??

?

The end will be TBD.? If you are so inclined, libations for the after action review will be supplied on your own accord.? I hope to see you here on the 25th.

?

If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns feel free to reach out to me here, via email at KF0OUA@..., or you can also find me on Winlink.

Initial report from my first Minnesota Ham Radio winlink net.? As of 1745 I have received 9 winlink messages including the original question of the day. We shall see as time progresses.

Technicians are welcome as well! It's a great opportunity to see the HF world in action if you're curious about working towards your General ticket!

We'll have enough room and radios for everyone to have a go at making some contacts on HF.

Just show up Bill.? You're swanky enough as it is.? Hi!

But what if I have no "swank"

The next Willmar Area Emergency Amateur Radio club's business meeting is Tuesday, January 28th, 2025 at 6:30 p.m.? It will be held at the Kandiyohi County Rescue Squad Building, located at 201 Lakeland Dr. NE in Willmar.

All area hams, and other interested persons are welcome to attend.? 73

I'll keep guard on the fort while you guys test the waters and watch for flooding.

I saved the link and will participate if our beta testers return unscathed ;)

I second your concerns but it's new so I'll give it a chance.
