Net Report 06MAR2024 - Richard VE3OZW - 2024-03-07

Net Controller — VE3OZW Richard - Otter Creek

HELP WANTED, please apply within!  Consider being a GBARC Net Controller (NC).  It is a positive learning experience and great fun.  The availability of extra Net Controllers means less work for everyone plus more variety.  It's a lot of fun and we are available to help anyone that is willing to step up and try.  

Topic for discussion -

1. Propagation.  Do you follow propagation?  What do you use?  VOACAP, MUF, Beacons, Spotting websites like dxsummit.fi, PSK reporter, hamclock, Simon's world map, geochron or something else...
2. Open Mic

I am going to leave this here from my last evening as Net Control as the topic popped up a few times during the net.  

Bernie mentioned the image for KM4ACK Build-a-pi contains HamClock and much more.  https://github.com/km4ack/pi-build

I have also used the HamPi OS image which contains HamClock and many other programs for the ham radio hobby.  https://sourceforge.net/projects/hampi/
