Bob on Zoom/HF

 

Great to see Bob N4XAT join today's Zoom experiment. We did manage to have a brief 'QSO' on the Zoom chat, although we both had our hands full of technical 'stuff' I think!

As you can see in the chat box (click the image to enlarge it), Bob was running Zoom to hear the Sussex crew, The W1NT WebSDR to hear David, Messenger to read what was going on with Steve GJ6WRI (great that you could join us Steve) as well as his Kenwood tuned to 21.343MHz!

OK, so this isn't really ground-breaking stuff, as it's basically what we do to audio-stream our 70cms GB3HY repeater net, but I wanted to see how it would sound on HF with the totally different noise conditions etc. and it seems to be working reasonably well.

It would be nice if tomorrow, somebody with Messenger could inject Bob's Messenger chat back into the radio Net, or join the Zoom call to do the same. It must be frustrating not having the capability to reply in any way. Sorry, I don't use Messenger and transmitting on the same radio that's streaming to Zoom doesn't seem to work very well for some reason.

I'm currently uploading today's recording to our YouTube channel. Edited, it's about 24 minutes. Find it here: https://youtu.be/NRwpHZ49Hng
