The get-together was an attempt at helping get some of the more recently licensed operators to get on air and discuss their experiences – topics included: creating a QRZ page, using eQSL, the basics of WSPR and PSK31, HF antennas, and next steps in the hobby,. Also discussed, a QS) with Ben, one of the youngest operators on-air, plus some feedback on JOTA activities at the weekend.
eQSL cards have been sent to all contributors.
If anyone has any suggestions for topics for the next informal “newbie net” – please add a comment below.
73s for now…
