The "DigiNet" RTTY Training Class
ZOOM Meeting
Monday, December 12, 2022 @ 2000 Hours
Special DigiNet for RTTY on December 12, 2022
In preparation for this contest, GCARC will host a special DigiNet meeting on Monday, December 12, 2022 to get members up to speed on this “old-fashioned” operational mode. RTTY is natively supported in FLDigi so anyone who’s already set up on this program should need no additional steps to run RTTY.
This session will be via Zoom using the 2 Meter repeater for testing the mode (although the actual contest will be on HF). The session will begin at 2000 Hours with the meeting room opening at 1930 Hours so that attendees can get their configurations right prior to the meeting start time. Jon Pearce WB2MNF will be the presenter.
Please consider attending this meeting so that you can get familiar with - or for the old hands, get a refresher on - the RTTY methodologies. It will be a huge help for those who decide to participate in the January contest.
