That is some great stats you have captured there Mooneer.
I guess the tricky part of once per month, is trying to find the lesser number of collisions with contests, to find the right weekend each month. I for one, vote YES for the every month Activity Day event. Sounds like a great idea.

Most activity was on 20 meters but there was activity picked up on 15, 17, 40, 80 and surprisingly 4 meters. Overall a pretty successful weekend for sure, especially considering that there were likely more that did not have reporting enabled in the FreeDV application. Anyway, what do you guys think about making it a once a month thing instead of just once a quarter?

We had stations from several countries that were making contacts in their respective areas, and even a couple made it over to the states here as well. There were more than a dozen NEW stations that were trying FreeDV for the first time. I was bouncing between 20m, 40m, and 17m, having all three of those operating at the same time with multiple instances of FreeDV running was a big advantage, and that sure helped to make it a great success for me. I hope we can continue to drive up the participation like that on a weekly basis. Thanks to everyone that was active this weekend. All the best, and looking forward to the next event in the future.

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 applicationas well as the SM1000 handheld microphone are welcome. (Note: this is different than previous Activity Days in that you have the entire weekend, not just a 24 hour period. This may continue for future Activity Days based on how the upcoming one goes.) Event time: 12AM Pacific time (0700Z) on November 5 to 11:59PM (0759Z) on November 6 (49 hours). Note: Daylight Saving Time ends in the US during Activity Day weekend. 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.
