FreeDV Reporter was filled with stations and as the net progressed, it kept updating with even more stations. Chris, WS5B, kept us on track by catching the additional stations as they popped and entering them into Netlogger. As Dudley, WA5QPZ, mentioned, trying to track the changes in FreeDV Reporter on-the-fly is extremely difficult while trying to control the net. Thank you, Chris, for doing this!

Also. many thanks to Dudley, WA5QPZ,Β  who had his Echolink and his YouTube livestream (search for both using his callsign) running. Both of them are great ways to hear how you sound at his QTH. The YouTube session, which was posted roughly one hour after the end of the livestream, is quite impressive. I highly recommend that everyone check it out. Tell your friends to listen as well as it may spark their interest in the FreeDV RADE mode.

Again, I wish to thank everyone who is involved in the development of RADE and look forward to future developments.

See you next Tuesday at the same time on 7182 +/- QRM. Please encourage your friends to join us.

73,
Fred

Thanks Fred for running the net. Thanks Dudley for the YouTube and EchoLink, it really helped me to here when the band started to fade. Thanks to everyone that check-in and made it a fun gathering.

It was a challenge keeping up with FreeDv Reporter putting the listΒ together. Thanks to everyone that logged into Netlogger, it made it easier to get them checked in. I in courage everyone to use Netlogger to check-in and see where you are in the list.

KB4KB, Number 6 in the list should be KT4KB, Jon and SC.

I noted this because the wrong call showed as being in Huntsville, AL and I thought I might meet this person when visiting my son there.

Thanks to Chris for getting us on NetLogger.Β  I must "eat crow" relative to my initial concerns!!! It worked great.
