Re: Tuesday Night Meeting
I would like to thank my parents, my siblings, and all the little people who got me here. I am feeling the love and support of the entire club and will continue striving to deserve your heartfelt feelings and sentiments.

Since my writing often doesn't convey the audio and visual clues of face to face communication, the above is entirely tongue in cheek. I appreciate the humor and good-natured ribbing.
?
Hope to see everyone at the meeting tonight.

Our monthly meeting is at 6pm Tuesday night at the Howell County EOC. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend due to a work related event. Steve, our club secretary and half way decent guy has volunteered (more like drew the short straw) will be moderating the meeting in my absence. I have passed my agenda along to him which has several topics to discuss as we move into spring & summer.
?
My apologies for the scheduling conflict. Up until Friday, I was told this event was Wednesday. Oh well… can’t win them all. As a result, we’ll postpone our discussion / demonstration on HF antennas until next month as I don’t want to dump too much on Steve at a short notice. ?

CHIRP that will NOT program your radio
?
This may be a fun thing to play with, but I post it more as a reminder that all our devices have microphones that may be listening, even if you didn't intentionally configure it or the latest application you installed from a play store didn't ask permission.

When I opened the bleepingcomputer link I was holding out hope that since our Android phones can now function as a shortwave radio, maybe we could program them over audio.
Cool, but not yet.

Re: WEATHER SPOTTER CLASS CANCELLED
I've never known them to reschedule a class that had been canceled.? On Thu, Mar 6, 2025, 8:30?PM Eric Presser - KD?CEN via <eric.presser= [email protected]> wrote:

Link to the upcoming classes in the region if you’re interested. Chances are slim that they will reschedule the Howell County class.

I'm not going to be able to run the ARES net tonight.
If someone can cover for me that would be great.
Sorry for short notice.

I agree, it sounds good. The button is well placed and convenient, but once it is on, would you ever turn it off? Could something you use more often be there?? I've got a Yaesu HF and as I recall I leave that enabled. My radio comes out of storage soon as the house remodel is fast approaching the cleanup stage. I'll confirm at that time.

Recently, Yaesu has released a few new mobiles with a new audio digital signal processing feature. The feature appears to do an excellent job of cleaning noise off analog signals. I’ve seen a couple videos and have been impressed, but just happened to run across this one and thought I would share it. Pretty awesome feature if you ask me.

That's very nice audio. I wonder if the digital filtering is based on the same DNR technology in their HF rigs?? On Wed, Feb 26, 2025, 10:25?PM Eric Presser - KD?CEN via <eric.presser= [email protected]> wrote:
