Comparison of Wideband ARDOP TO WINMOR

K2MO did some "unscientific" testing comparing ARDOP to WINMOR.  Looks like it has a slight advantage:

Statewide APRS Net December 12th at 1 PM -- Looking for a few good volunteers to help out!

Quick reminder that the statewide APRS net is coming up this Saturday, December 12th at 1 PM.  Net control will be KD5NJR.

We will be conducting the net from the TDRC presentation on APRS and UZ7HO soundcard modem at the Broken Arrow Central Library at 300 W. Broadway in Broken Arrow.  If you have never used APRS, this is an excellent opportunity to see someone in person running a portable APRS station and soundcard modem combination.  Scott will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

To assist the net in having maximum coverage, we are asking for "associate net control" stations in the following locations:

OKC Metro, within 30 miles of W5LHG IGATE.

Guymon, within 50 miles of KB5IIM-15 IGATE.

Enid, within 30 miles of  K0WHN IGATE.

Bartlesville, within 30 miles of KE9XB IGATE.

McAlester, within 30 miles of W5CUQ-10 IGATE (believe it is still an IGATE).

Buffalo, within 50 miles of WL7II IGATE.

Altus, within 50 miles of N5VX-10 IGATE.

You main job will be sending out an APRS bulletin announcing the net and directing check-ins to the KD5NJR net control station.  Not every location is served by bi-directional I-gates, so this will be a way to serve the outlying areas and insure the net control message is making it to those areas.  If you are interested in being an associate net control for one of these locations, please email me at ae5me at yahoo dot com and I will provide you more details.

Oklahoma ARRL Section Voice-over-IP Net, December 7th at 9:15 PM!

The inaugural Oklahoma ARRL Section Voice-over-IP net will be held on December 7th beginning at 9:15 PM.  The net will continue on a weekly basis every Monday night at 9:15 PM.

Many thanks to Larry W5LHG, who will be net control.  Thanks also to the Tulsa Digital Radio Club for use of the temporary VOIP bridge that connects the Echolink and IRLP conferences to D-star reflector.  Other VOIP systems will be supported upon request.

Local repeaters are encouraged to link into the net.  If you are a D-star repeater, link to Reflector 052B (Oklahoma Reflector).  If you are an Echolink repeater, connect to conference 7203 (*WX_TALK*).  If you are an IRLP repeater, connect to IRLP 9219.

Individual users may also connect using D-star dongles and hotspots connected to Reflector 052B.  Echolink applications are available for the IPhone, Android OS, and Windows OS that also allow individual participation via internet.
