H ere are my first thoughts and comments on the first Furry QSO party / Net:

Nice nets.  I think I heard KC2WQW on 14.288 before he faded out.  Or maybe the solar flare disrupted the ionosphere.  Thanks for posting the log of the digital net that happened on 20 meters.

40 meters was better today.  I heard some ham radio operators checking in. I'm glad that KC2WQW moved the net to 7193 KHz because I heard a lot of noise on 7188 KHz.  Ronald's signal was fairly loud.  But around 1:25 PM EST, he started fading away.

 I tried to check in.  Hey KC2WQW, the RRE station was me.  I am using a Kenwood TS-440 and a 4 foot CB radio mobile antenna.  I think I was only putting out 10 watts.  Sorry we couldn't really have a conversation.  I need to erect an outdoor antenna in the spring or summer.

Thanks to everyone who participated in both nets.  I hope we have a few more QSO parties and nets soon.

Um, that is all I can think of.

What a way to finally get around to posting here.
After seven years of putting it off, and getting messed about by the RSGB, I finally got my Amateur test pass.
I'm only a lowly Foundation Class, but it's a step in the right direction!

Now that the callsigns are dealt with online, I can choose my own sometime after Friday. It'll be MI6(something), but I'm not sure what three letters to go for!
Anyone got ideas? :)

Hopefully I'll catch some of you on the air in the not too distant future!

Well, for the past couple years I've been putting together a furry hams foxhunt at Midwest Furfest. I did so by borrowing a fox transmitter from my college's ham radio club for the weekend. Unfortunately, since I've graduated and am no longer at the University, I no longer have a fox transmitter.

So, I'm hoping someone else with some equipment can step in and run a foxhunt at MFF this year... If you're going to MFF and have a RDF transmitter, please let me know!

Thanks!

Hey guys! Are there any other furry ham radio ops that plan on attending Oklacon this year?

I worked ZS2Y, long-path, while driving through Nebraska yesterday morning.

We have undergone a change!  This is hopefully for the better.  We will be able to do more customization, have better security, and have many more options for the users with this change.

Your Username (callsign) and password should be exactly the same as it was on the old site.  If you don't remember your password, there is now an option to have it emailed to you.

There were 3 previous users that did not have email addresses defined.  Unfortunately, those users got purged, since there is no way to accommodate them without an email address.  You can re-register and add yourself back in.

Earl - Hurricane Watch Net Activated - 14.325 USB Phone

The Hurricane Watch Net is active as of 8am yesterday morning, Aug. 30, on 14.325 USB phone.

Feel free to listen along. You can learn a little something each time you monitor one of these nets. Some of the net control stations, and reporting stations, really do a fantastic job under adverse conditions.

The buildings all blocked gps reception, so radio only knew where I was when outside, but did get one beacon while on the roof area of the DLCC, between the wings.
