[K4RY] Meeting Tomorrow: 12:30pm Broun Conference Room

[Mike Watkins]

Further Testing:

Though my Yagi is pointed at 040 degrees,  Digipeater KE4LTT-2, located on a heading of 270 degrees at a distance of
25 miles is digipeating my signal (when on high power) and it is getting reported by IGATE KE4LTT in Montgomery.

So that is good sign that I am sending good packets. I am now going to clear all stations from my list and not open
my own IGATE and see if K4RY beacons over the next 12 hours. IGATES typically beacon every 30mins to 1 hour.

73,
Mike

Hello Everyone,

It was good to see you guys yesterday on the Broun Hall roof. I put up my 4-element Yagi today about 16 feet up on a pole pointed at Broun Hall on a heading of 39.54 degrees at a distance of 5.41 miles. The
K4RY digi does not answer to pings. We will have to work on that next week. When I  beacon,
K4RY does not report my position. I am on high power (35W) into a 7db gain yagi - 1 db of coax loss
giving me an effective radiated power of  140W.  So, let's take a look at the setting of UI-View
next week and see what we can do to answer pings, digipeat and report APRS reports to the server.

Respectfully,
Mike
WX4AL
