[hpsdr] Sunday's ANAN-NET (Mike Schwendeman)

[Bob Stricklin]

I would like to let folks know that Mike is doing a fine job here with this net. I managed to check into the net today using my HPSDR with Pennylane, Mercury, Metis, and Pennywhistle. This was actually my first contact with this RIG and I just happened to find his net to try the radio out. The thing that made the NET so interesting is Mikes live streaming which he mentions below. With this stream you can see a slightly delayed view of his Power SDR screen and hear your/others actual audio from his QTH. Band conditions where not that good today and I was only getting out about 18 watts so I was a difficult copy. I could see my signal on his radio was just registering above the noise. I did manage to complete the checkin though.

After checking in I slipped off Mikes frequency to a quite spot near by. Then I could tune my radio and adjust the beam heading while looking at my tune signal occasionally pop up on Mike's display. I should have done this before trying to check in! It is really cool to see the livestream of his radio while adjusting your station. You can also see all his Power SDR settings and watch him make changes and adjustments which is a good way to learn what others are doing and what works best.

See Mike’s original posting for more details and check this out.
