My wife and I just attended a Hamcram session and passed the exam! Hope to have our licenses in a couple of weeks and then attend (at least listen) to the weekly Net. Thank you for organizing the event.

Dan, you can log into www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/29437/web and listen while your waiting for the callsign to register on the FCC website. Congrats and look forward to hearing you on the NET Brent KJ7BHN
 
Cant connect on echolink, worked earlier and works on other nodes... I'll try again next week, enjoy the net -wa6arb
 
Great net. I tried to get on but I have yet to be registered with echolink. I listened part way on the conference line but it dropped me after about 7 minutes. I will try to look you up again next week. Thanks for getting HAM into the conversation. A large number of people in OB here in Orange County, California are getting licenced and learning the ropes. Look forward to future talks.

Here's foldable solar panels in the U.S.: https://p3solar.com/p3-portables/
I almost purchased one of the 75W ones last year - I preferred the idea of a foldable one because i thought it would be easier to pack away, that's before somebody else told me the tip about storing a semi-flex inside the RTT. Instead of picking up the 75W folding panel for about $400 i was able to get a more performant 100W semi-flex panel for less than $300

Troubleshooting firewalls is a PITB, Finally got echolink working!

Just discovered that my usb headset/mic combo doesn't work anymore therefore we are halfway there.

Can someone tell me how the PTT works on the PC. I think I blocked the Grits Guys for a minute when i was testing EchoLink. [emoji45] do you hold it down, talk then release the spacebar or tap it once, talk, then tap again to stop TXing.
