FreeDV Reporter took up almost my entire laptop screen with all of the participants. I apologize if I missed anyone or need to correct anything. Please let me know.

The entire net except for the first few minutes was recorded and streamed live on YouTube by WA5QPZ as well as streamed live on his Echolink station. I highly recommend that everyone listen to themselves on the YouTube recording (search for “WA5QPZ”) to hear what your signal sounded like (note: the recording order closely matches the order of the list above). My XYL heard me and said that my voice needed some more bass. I have added more bass using the FreeDV mic equalization settings, however, I am not sure that the filtering in RADE will accommodate it.

Many thanks to all who participated. Also many thanks to Dudley, WA5QPZ, for his help with net control and, especially, for his YouTube live stream/recording and Echolink live stream.

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

Thanks to you Fred for getting all us started on FreeDV Net .  40 meters started falling apart by the end , but such is life on HF bands .    I apologize for missing the very first part of the net with the YouTube playback, I will try to do better next time .   To save time looking for the FreeDV recording, here is the direct link 

If you have YouTube on your smart TV , try watching it on your home big screen, and increase your resolution to 1080p high definition, that’s how I record it as .. I’ll see about a FreeDV channel or section , make it easier to find ..

73,
