operating notes: simplex ARPSC public service net following the weekly ARPSC regular net. I was on the air for about 45 minutes.
My less than perfect antenna setup is better at TX than RX, and I haven't yet fully figured out the squelch on my Kenwood TK-790. I understand that several stations heard me.
Matt #WS8U helpfully served as a relay, he is a few blocks away. But I think with better antenna placement + better squelch control that my 2 meter simplex setup can improve.
9 check-ins on the #W8RP Arrow DMR net just now, Matt #WS8U net control, 21 minutes run time. Stations from Ann Arbor, a few others in downstate Michigan, Marquette in the U.P., and several from Florida.
Noted that this Saturday night net is now listed on the BridgeCom #DMR net listing:

(I know that I've also seen longer lists of DMR nets, but as ever you never really know which ones are active until you try them.)
There's always something going on in the world of Digital Ham Radio. Below we've compiled a list of active weekly digital nets. We hope you find this list helpful as you make new friends and contacts in Ham Radio! 73! Monday Alaska Statewide NET - 10:30pm CST TG 3100 Great guys and open to everyone. Michigan Mond
