But on the plus side my ftm400 just got delivered after a five week back order.

You got to pay for the fun stuff somehow!!

I just put the Echolink app on my iPhone and got validated. Hooked right up! Looking forward to making a Friday session soon.

Details for tonight's Echolink net, as well as the logs from past nets can be found here: https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/friday-night-ham-radio-net.21576/page-3

MODS, Can we maybe look at merging this thread and the main Friday night thread or pointing everyone to that one so we can keep all the info in one place? If not, no problem. Thanks in advance!

The net is going on right now folks! We've got several members checking in from EXPO tonight! Come join in!

 

[J.W.]

I’m on. I’ll be a late check in because I was stuck in traffic.

Passed my Tech license this weekend. Can’t wait to join in soon!

KJ6TJR here, pretty much a novice on radio, not sure how to set my radio up to do echolink. I have a yaesu ftm-400 mobile and a yaesu ft-70d handheld

Echolink is set up with smartphone app or computer. You can assess a repeater that has echolink but harder and no suggested as novice. Download app and hope to see you Friday. It takes a little to set up so don't wait till last min

Even though its a holiday weekend the NET must go on. Join me, Brentc17 for the NET tonight at 5:30PST on Grits N Gravy Echolink node 591550. I will be doing double duty tonight at controller (first time) and coordinator. Should be a good time if nothing else to see me get a little tongue tied on my first go at NET control. See you then

Those are great radios and I have the same. See the posting below your first one to see answer to getting echolink set up. There is also a boot camp article on it. Welcome to the hobby, see you on the Friday Night Forum.

We just hit our mid-trip non-tent break at Monument Valley, so if I can keep the WiFi working, I’ll check in and give your controller grade when it’s over [emoji16]

Turkey legs on the smoker, radio in hand. Ready to kick off the weekend.

Grade on a curve???

 

[ru108]

Let’s call it a B+. Sounded good though.

 

[whiskey7backroads]

On a curve that's an A+!
