2256NetNW NM Digital Net Great training opportunity using the FLDIGI software suite that is widely used by EMCOMM entities. This event allows net participants to upload and compare messages and images received during the net using the FLDIGI software programs.

***Note: With the end of DST on 11/3/24, net start time is now 0900 MST for AZ, NM, and other mountain time zone areas.

NCS KF5SMH will acknowledge checkins on 7.120 MHz USB (+1500 Hz offset) starting at 45 minutes before net start time on Olivia 16/1K mode. Net uses FLAMP to send/receive messages sent in MFSK64, MT63/1KL, and other modes as determined by NCS. Net images will typically be sent in MFSK64 mode.

Note that use of USB hubs has been proven to cause unstable reception of images (as determined by at least two of our club members). A direct connection from your soundcard device to your computer's USB port may be necessary.

AZRCCC members are encouraged to upload messages and photos for comparison with other members regarding propagation reception issues. Non-members can send their received images to wa9tkk@gmail.com for posting in the Photo Gallery on this website.
