Happy Friday Everyone, I'll be your net control this evening. Once each month we host a 'new' HAM net topic. This is the opportunity to allow new hams (and old hams) to ask questions and get answers from the old timers. Anything ham radio related is up for discussion. To start, I purchased an...

Congratulations Kenny! I think there is a Echolink basics page here but am not finding it. I'll dig around for it but for now, the quick answers are: To use Echolink directly, you need to register with your amateur radio call sign. This will allow you to use the application over the internet...

Hello Everyone, I'll be your net control tomorrow evening. For a topic I'd like to discuss tire air-down and air-up. Do you air down? How much? To air up do you use a portable or permanently installed compressor? Or maybe Co2? Of course, anything else related to overlanding and ham radio is...
