Chip Kroh<p>Good... afternoon y'll!! Out and about today. Got up at 0730 and decided I was not going to spend the entire day doing chores and such. </p><p>Drove out to a local state park (Gifford Pinchot State Park) to play radio. Since I developed my radio go kit, I decided to test everything out, HF and VHf. Started with packet radio, trying to make contact with my home BBS over VHF frequencies; no connection. Went through digital repeaters with minimal trouble, but then the BBS went wonky. One VPN and SSH connection later, I reset the BBS and made connections on multiple frequencies. Woo Hoo!</p><p>Next up was the HF radio and FT8, a weak signal communications mode. I've made a few contacts at 25 watts on the portable vertical antenna. Decided not to stretch out the NVIS dipole as there are too many kids running around and I don't want one of them running into the wires. Next time I'll find a spot a little less populated. </p><p>So far so good. I got out of the apartment, it's not hot or humid out, and I've only gotten rained on a little bit. Keeping an eye on the weather, because it takes about a half hour to get the stuff back in the car. </p><p>Trying not to engage with all of the CA crap going on right now. As soon as I heard the deployment of NG troops, my mind immediately went to the move "The Siege." Not good.</p><p>Stay safe and LET'S BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!</p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/amateurradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>amateurradio</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/ft8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ft8</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/packetradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>packetradio</span></a> </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@firefly" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>firefly</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@BakerRL75" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>BakerRL75</span></a></span> @<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://vmst.io/@czarbucks" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>czarbucks</span></a></span> @<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://toad.social/@amyedge" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>amyedge</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@ai6yr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>ai6yr</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@Jennifer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Jennifer</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@AE4WX" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>AE4WX</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://cunnin.me/@technodad" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>technodad</span></a></span></p>
Phil<p>My mobile APRS Digipeter doesn’t look suspicious at all… once up and running it pulls 0.11 Amps. With that 4.5Amp battery it should last 36 hours at 90% efficiency give or take.

Supported are Hardware TNC's via Hostmode and Soft/Sound Modems via AGW Server. The software is OpenSource and will be released next year. As you can see from the screenshot, the communication works perfectly. ANSI color codes are also supported. 😀 I will publish the features step by step in the coming months. Of course, I am also happy to receive feature requests from the Radio community. <a href="https://mastodon.aventer.biz/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.aventer.biz/tags/ax25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ax25</span></a></p>
