Chris explains a few basic facts to the usual sceptical audience ..
“My plan is to use to use the FT-991 on data modes, including an SSTV station. That will be transmit and receive via RF and have a tablet attached to run the software.
The FT-817 is for voice and will be a hybrid station using RF up and webSDR for the downlink.”
In preparation for the event Club volunteers met last week to rehearse the erection of the mast for the event and were well drilled in the process by Club Chairman who had even prepared a model involving paper clips and cardboard for ease of understanding.
