I own primarily Yaesu gear while most hams near me seem to be into DMR, so will need the internet to connect to more remote hams. I've been meaning to try C4FM at some point anyways.Not sure I'll get around to actually assembling said hotspot this week, but its on my to do list. |

I was quite keen to do something with FreeDV (https://freedv.org/) instead of C4FM, which is quite common for me.Ran out of time to do the digital thing on HF this week, but will press on and keep going with the HF side.HC18S |

I used a 70cm-Repeater 160km to the north and had two nice QSOs. It never fails to amaze me how far 70cm works if LOS is given. @hamchallenge |
