Greetings!
We will attempt the first MO Digital training net following the MESN this Sunday, Nov. 27th.
This will be an exploratory and introductory session to find out what propagation characteristics are and what modes may be practical.
I am expecting to focus on the NBEMS software suite programs FLDigi, FLMsg and FLAmp. If you do not have the most recent version of these programs, see the list below, download them and install them on your computer. A Windows 10 system is recommended, as that is most common and well known. We may need to discuss configuration of the programs for the first session or two. For other hardware and OSes, you may need to find another user for assistance.
To make this easier, we will use a Zoom session to coordinate operations and discuss our objectives and methods. We can deal with questions, configurations, and operating practices.
Zoom meeting will be available after about 2:20 PM. Here is the info to participate:
Nov 27, 2022 02:20 PM Central Time (US and Canada)

Meeting 837 5424 7697
Pass code 055867
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
When we are ready to run the net, I plan to use a frequency of 3598 KHz, with a tone center frequency of 1500 Hz.
I will open with a net call and information preamble, after which I will call for digital check-ins. In this first session, the main purpose will be to verify that all participants have their station up and running, or help participants to achieve it. By this method we can also investigate the prop characteristics. In future nets, I expect to explore modes and capabilities of the software and develop the skills that I listed in the previous email.
I hope to hear you then!
