Fyi…
This has always been a great way to see what Digital Voice sounds like over marginal band conditions that even SSB signals can’t make it through. 14.236 is the most active frequency, but others are being used, especially when things get busy. Hope you get the chance to give FreeDV a try. We have also been doing this via the linear satellite at times, so sync up with us if you want to test the waters there too. See you there…… Walter/K5WH From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mooneer Salem Sent: Saturday, July 30, 2022 8:30 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [Ham-Radio-Tech-Notes] [Announcement] FreeDV Activity Day - August 6-7, 2022 Hi all, We'll be doing another FreeDV Activity Day on Saturday, August 6, 2022! This event will bring together people interested in HF digital voice on the air for conversation and fun. Contacts using <https://freedv.org/> the official application as well as the SM1000 handheld microphone are welcome. Event time: 9AM Pacific time (1600Z) on August 6th to 8:59AM (1559Z) on August 7th (24 hours), though you're welcome to operate before or after this block of time :) Suggested frequencies: 80 meters: 3.625, 3.643 or 3.693 MHz 40 meters: 7.177 MHz 20 meters: 14.236 MHz 17 meters: 18.118 MHz 15 meters: 21.313 MHz 12 meters: 24.933 MHz 10 meters: 28.330 or 28.720 MHz (Note that LSB/DIGL is used below 10MHz as per current convention for voice modes, USB/DIGU otherwise.) As this isn't a contest, there's no pressure to make contacts or send logs, but you can always confirm QSOs via the usual means if you'd like (LoTW, eQSL, QRZ, etc.) Enabling PSK Reporter in the FreeDV application and joining the <http://qso.freedv.org/> QSO Finderare recommended, however, so others can see that you're on the air and hearing them (for instance, here's <https://pskreporter.info/pskmap?preset&callsign=ZZZZZ&mode=FREEDV&timerange=3600&mapCenter=31.442130629514438,9.52291666666666,1.9517274414542571> the current map of listeners). :D Feel free to spread this far and wide among your local ham friends and groups! :) Let me know if you have any questions about the event and definitely post here if you have issues getting the application working prior to the event.
