The Southeast Minnesota Digital Net
|
Southeast Minnesota Digital Net - Thursdays at 9 p.m. local time on the
147.255 (PL100) repeater. The net uses NBEMS protocol, FLDIGI, FLWRAP
and FLMSG software to practice sending and receiving digital messages
using the MT-63/2000 protocol, with long interleave and extended
characters. The current version of FLDIGI should have the proper
defaults for MT-63/2K. We take voice checkins for those who can't
participate on MT-63.
NBEMS stands for 'Narrow Band Emergency Messaging
System'. It is becoming a widely accepted standard for amateur emcomm
digital communications. These tutorials show how to set up and use
NBEMS: Narrow Band Emergency
Messaging Software (NBEMS)

Just got your Tech license? Or you've moved up to General. But, don't
know the in's and out's of HF operations?. Then come on over to the Ten
Meters every Tuesday night at 8 p.m. on 28.325 SSB.
I'm sure
the Hams would be more then happy to answer any of your questions. And
even give
you some free pointers on working DX as the Solar Cycle gears up. New
General
licensee? Try out that new rig on the open highways of HF. Talk local,
learn
International! because Ten Meters will be a super band the coming
years. It
meets every Tuesday -except not- the 2nd Tuesday when we have RARC club
