Year 5, Week 22 Sept. 1, 2021 The K5TAL net on 80 meters was opened at 7 pm (0000z) on 3.862 MHz and had 11 check-ins. Good band conditions (considering summer 80 m lousy conditions). Listening on N4DKD also, EchoLink running but only taking text messages. I will also take check-ins via D-Star Reflector 58B and anytime between Wednesday and Friday on WinLink address wv5q@winlink.org. Practice your WinLink skills and use the net check-in template.

Thursdays at 7 pm CST, K5TAL hosts an all-digital net via a service called QuadNet Array (www.openquad.net). This service allows any form of digital voice to be routed so DMR users can hear D-Star and C4FM Fusion, D-Star can hear everyone, as can C4FM users. It also allows DV Dongle users to communicate likewise. The net is listed on the www.openquad.net website. You can listen to the HF 80 meter by going to www.n4dkd.com and enter the frequency and LSB. If you have an Apple device, there is a box to the right to enable audio for IOS.
