FreeDV 40M Tuesday Night Activity Net (7182kHz +/- QRM) Report for 02/03/26 (Wednesday 0200Z)

[Fred Larrick]

IMPORTANT NOTE: Dudley and I will be unable to run the nets on 02/10/26 and 02/17/26. Hopefully, someone will volunteer to do it in our absence. Regardless, everyone should just show up and chat if even if there is no net control station.

 

Below is the list of stations that participated in the FreeDV 40M Tuesday Night Activity Net that met on 02/03/26 at 9 PM EST on 7182 kHz. Dudley, WA5QPZ, streamed the net live and recorded it on his YouTube channel “WA5QPZ”. He also provided a live Echolink connection to a receiver in Utah under his callsign. WA5QPZ’s YouTube channel and Echolink connection are great ways to listen live and hear other stations that you might otherwise not hear. The YouTube recording is also a good way to listen to your own signal after it has been posted.

Based on FreeDV Reporter, Netlogger, and over-the-air check-ins, we had 39 participants as follows:

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 check-ins.

I hope that everyone enjoyed the net. As noted above, I will be out of town the next two net nights and am hoping that someone will step in and run the net in my absence.

73,
