Due to popular demand, we'll be doing another FreeDV Activity Day on Saturday, February 19, 2022! This event will bring together people interested in HF digital voice on the air for conversation and fun. Contacts using the official application as well as the SM1000 handheld microphone are welcome. Event time: 9AM Pacific time (1700Z) on February 19th to 8:59AM (1659Z) on February 20th (24 hours) Suggested frequencies: 80 meters: 3.625, 3.643 or 3.693 MHz 40 meters: 7.177 MHz 20 meters: 14.236 MHz 17 meters: 18.118 MHz 15 meters: 21.313 MHz 12 meters: 24.933 MHz 10 meters: 28.330 or 28.720 MHz (Note that LSB/DIGL is used below 10MHz as per current convention for voice modes, USB/DIGU otherwise.) As this isn't a contest, there's no pressure to make contacts or send logs, but you can always confirm QSOs via the usual means if you'd like (LoTW, eQSL, QRZ, etc.) Enabling PSK Reporter in the FreeDV application and joining theQSO Finderare recommended, however, so others can see that you're on the air and hearing them (for instance, here's the current map of listeners). Feel free to spread this far and wide among your local ham friends and groups! Let me know if you have any questions about the event and definitely post here if you have issues getting the application working prior to the event.
