Hi to all,

Yusuf,
J'ai bien reçu toutes vos transmissions hier soir aussi sur 40 que sur 80m.
le fichier est bien décodé.
Je ne pouvais vous transmettre mon fichier car nous étions en exercice avec plusieurs stations RASEC.
Comme je suis la station directrice, je ne pouvais pas sortir du but de cette exercice.
Mais ce n'est que partie remise. On trouvera un moment tranquille pour faire nos essais.

Amicalement

Yvon

Emergency Kit

Some thoughts on emergency kit we need to prepare for QTH based/mobile operation

Ready Rig
Ready Antenna
DC power
First aid kit
Food stuff
Tools

We can customise  according to availability and our individual needs.

When the Activation Call comes, we won’t have time to hunt for things!

NVIS tests with Reunion Island using FLDIGI and FLARQ

Successful  tests have been carried out with FR1GZ and FR5FZ   of ADRASEC 974.

Reunion is using BPSK63 of FLDIGI and standard messages of  FLMSG with NVIS for their emcom structure.I have been told they they do not wish to rely solely on the vhf relays as they have had problems in the past and during catastrophic conditions it is almost impossible to deploy mobile vhf relays and that's why they are including  the HF NVIS solution as part of their emcom structure.

Bilan direct vhf voice exercise on 230918 using 144.550 MHZ

The exercise has been a complete success with the following stations taking part .
FO,DU,FV,GZ,BAN,BAL.

On 290918 further tests were done with CW and DM .

A spreadsheet with details of the exercise has been circulated together with terrain maps showing all links have been circulated to all via mail.

Further tests will be carried out in the coming days and we shall all put our heads together to analyse the data and find solutions for the areas that have not been covered and for difficult areas.
