Two digital QSOs this evening with Lucillie #KD8PTE who is up in Marquette MI. First via the Upper Peninsula #DMR net she runs on Brandmeister #TG31268 at 630p, next via K8LOD Marquette repeater on Ham Shack Hotline 94026.

Of the two the DMR is easier to manage because even if the audio is a bit distorted, the Pi-Star dashboard I am using makes it very clear who is talking.

The report from Marquette is good snow forecast for the Feb 13 UP 200 sled dog race https://up200.org

UP net on #DMR. Lucille #KD8PTE net control. Check-ins from Marquette, Harvey, Sands Twp, Chocolay Twp, L'Anse, and Ishpeming MI, plus Florida and Alaska and several folks in downstate Michigan. Reports: snow, snow removal, ice fishing, deer sightings, cinnamon rolls etc.

Starts at 630p Sundays Eastern (2330 UTC), and runs about 30 minutes, to be followed by the #HARA emergency 2m on 147.270 in MQT.

29 minutes, 11 checkins.

Lucille #KD8PTE runs the Upper Peninsula net on Brandmeister TG 31268 (the UP talk group), 630p Eastern / 2330 UTC on Sundays.

Discussion among other things of snow in Marquette MI (about 3 inches) and the appearance of deer in people's yards.

A nice group, I try to check in when I can.
