WA6NBG is testing on 28.080MHz Monday afternoons for the transfer of information that would be in the Monday Bulletin. The Fldigi suite of software is being utilized as such: MFSK32 centered at 1500 on the radio frequency of 28.080MHz USB. The Fldigi ARQ package is set to beacon every two minutes. This allows the users to sync the frequencies via the waterfall. Compose, connect to WA6NBG, and send traffic. This is all an effort to improve the digital capabilities of Amateur Radio in our community. This is still in testing and experimental stage and may not always be operation on Mondays. Packet on 145.050MHz is still availabe at WA6NBG-1 24/7.
