This is an update of some of our activities in the month of March, 2024.

Two new comrades have joined us this month! One from Appalachia, and another from the DC Metro area.

One was actually heard hunting POTA on 20 meters, after which we decided to connect over IP. Turns out he’s a long standing IWW member.

The other is a new ham with an interest in queer liberation and providing emergency communication support to the queer community.

We made use of webSDRs to remotely troubleshoot line-of-sight antenna setups.

One of us began construction of a portable 2 element Yagi antenna for the 10 meter band.

We experimented with multiple digital voice modes over both RF and IP, including DMR, YSF, Echolink, and M17.

Our comrades in the Midwest have constructed one fully functioning solar-powered Meshtastic node, and several portable nodes have been obtained by comrades there. Training and practice will commence when weather and schedules allow.

License exam study books have been scanned into digital formats for distribution throughout our networks.
