FreeDV 40M Tuesday Night Activity Net (7182kHz +/- QRM) Report for 09/16/25

[Fred Larrick]

Below is the list of stations that participated in the FreeDV 40M Tuesday Night Activity Net that met on 09/16/25 at 10PM EDST (Wednesday, 0200Z) on 7182 kHz. This week, we had a total of 39 stations participating. You can listen to a YouTube recording of the net by searching for “WA5QPZ” and selecting the corresponding recording. Dudley, WA5QPZ, streams the YouTube recording live as well as streaming the audio on Echolink under his callsign. If cannot hear a station at your QTH, you may be able to hear it on Echolink or YouTube (has a longer delay than Echolink though).  Dudley is also the Mid-West/Alternate Net Control.

Two other comments:

1. Please put your name and QTH into FreeDV Reporter when you start the FreeDV program. This will help all of us learn who is who.

2. If you can (assuming you want to try it), download “Netlogger” and monitor the net. This will put you onto a list in the order that you start monitoring from which I can easily create an organized check-in list. You can also see the check-in list that I have created which includes FreeDV Reporter stations as well as any other over-the-air check-ins. This is how Dudley and I try to keep the two of us in sync. If you see the designation “lurking”, it means that I have not yet added you to the list of checkins. I just figured this out last week.

I have watched about an hour of YouTube videos on Netlogger and none of them have covered it in the  depth that I need to know. I have also discovered that Netlogger’s “hightlight” function does not work on my PC. K8CHY reported a similar experience. If you have any expertise on Netlogger, please share it with me by emailing me outside the group. Using it has been quite a help, even with my limited understanding of it.

I hope that everyone enjoyed the net. See you next Tuesday, 10 PM EDST (Wednesday, 0200Z), on 7182 kHz +/- QRM.

73,
