Fyi…
Walter/K5WH Hi all, This is a reminder that this month's FreeDV Activity Day is this coming weekend. (As a reminder, Activity Day takes place on the third weekend of every month.) This event will bring together people interested in HF digital voice on the air for conversation and fun. Contacts using the official application <https://freedv.org/> as well as the SM1000 handheld microphone and other supporting devices and applications are welcome. Event time: 12AM Pacific time (0700Z) on April 15 to 11:59PM (0659Z) on April 16 (48 hours). Suggested frequencies: 80 meters: 3.625, 3.643, 3.693 or 3.697 MHz 60 meters (in countries where allowed): 5.4035 MHz or 5.3665 MHz 40 meters: 7.177 MHz 20 meters: 14.236 MHz or 14.240 MHz 17 meters: 18.118 MHz 15 meters: 21.313 MHz 12 meters: 24.933 MHz 10 meters: 28.330 or 28.720 MHz 10 GHz (for those in range of QO-100): 10489.640 MHz (Note that LSB/DIGL is used below 10MHz as per current convention for voice modes, USB/DIGU otherwise. 60 meters is of course USB/DIGU only.) 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 QSO Finder <http://qso.freedv.org/> and Discord <https://discord.gg/QrZDwy5n7K> are recommended, however, so others can see that you're on the air and hearing them (for instance, here's the current map of listeners <https://pskreporter.info/pskmap?preset&callsign=ZZZZZ&mode=FREEDV&timerange=3600&mapCenter=31.442130629514438,9.52291666666666,1.9517274414542571> ). :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. Thanks, -Mooneer K6AQ
