What Worked
More participation than expected HF Pactor worked well through the XE2
gateway on 20 meters in Mexico. It was a good exercise for training. We
could do more like this.
What didn’t work
adding ICS forms to a file on the packet PC Clean up address book Need DSTAR for Dummies x2 Update repeater list for all radios – including
DSTAR 40/80m difficult “Qualify” DRATS DSTAR DRATS proved unreliable through
the Synopsis repeater
