Thought I would brag on Jen since she got her license recently. We went to Jones State Park off of 1488 and activated the park.
She managed on 10m to get 45 contacts in around 1 and half hours! That includes contacts from 6 different countries!
I was working hard just keeping up with logging for her as she was making the contacts!
Now she is hooked on getting as many rewards as possible!

Re: PAULINE ROAD FIRE / San Jacinto & Montgomery Co., NW of Cleveland / 1300:ac 10% containment / Evac’s / Shelters open
Rick,
Thank you for taking the time to share this valuable information. I will be updating my radios with the frequencies you've provided. ?
?
For me, EMCOMM plays a critical role in the Amateur Radio community, and I deeply value its importance. ?
?
I sincerely appreciate your efforts in supporting this aspect of our hobby. ?

PAULINE ROAD FIRE / San Jacinto & Montgomery Co., NW of Cleveland / 1300:ac 10% containment / Evac’s / Shelters open
Update, appears the broadcastify feed for Montgomery Co FIRE is not passing audio.
Over-The-Air monitoring of Montgomery Co FIRE and Texas Fire Services from my QTH (SE corner of Walker Co.). I program my TIDRADIO H8’s with various public safety freq’s, and set TX inhibit. Makes for a reasonable scanner, exclusive of P25 modes.
?TEXAS A&M Forest Service
——————
Wednesday RACES Zoom mtg was timely as I had the various fire tracking web sites mentioned in the chat, open on the iPad. By far, WatchDuty was the most informative, with regular posts and links to county OEM notification sites. ?
?
Additionally, my HT is programmed with nearby Fire and EMS freq’s. I’m out of range for the ground traffic, but BROADCASTIFY has excellent interfaces to the county channels. I learned quite a bit about EMCOMM radio protocol, command post, staging, response and NIMS in action. The calm demeanor in the voices of those professionals with urgent and priority traffic. Impressive !
?
Wed night, I tuned into the various ARES repeaters in the area - no fire related traffic heard. However during the evacuation calls, most of the repeaters in the linked system shared by ARES were occupied by simulcasting the weekly ARRL news. I do not know how I would have been able to break in with priority traffic if I needed to access the repeater network while it was in news broadcast mode.

Re: Seeking logging software recommendations for go-kit operations, voice modes.
开云体育Have you tried JS8CALL? It has some distinct advantages over FT8 in that you can work digitally, text or ragchew. It operates from the same WJST-X software. It is my preferred field software.Regards, Steven Prindle 512-966-2137 On Mar 11, 2025, at 14:17, Rick WA2HRF Fell via groups.io <rickyf@...> wrote:

Seeking logging software recommendations for go-kit operations, voice modes.
For the past year, I’ve mainly worked FT8/4 digital modes, and automated logging to QRZ and LoTW is built-in to WSJT-x + Gridtracker. However, I’m seeking options to logging (HF) voice QSO’s. Preferably a solution that works on the iOS / iPad, so as to not bring a laptop into an outdoor environment.
Thanks |
