March 2025 Tech Talk – Digital Modes

KD5HIY 9 March, 2025

Join Us Saturday Morning, March 15 at the EOC For an Introduction to Digital Modes Used in Amateur Radio Presented by Steve W5HK FT8 is the only digital mode used by most hams, and its impact is legendary, but it is only the beginning.... Digital modes in amateur radio include both voice and data We will review all four of the modes used on HF and VHF/UHF for voice The WSJT-X program suite provides several other important modes beside FT8; FLDIGI provides virtually all other digital modes used for text communication There are several trends taking place that indicate the hobby is moving away from voice on HF Many hams today seem to prefer text over other modes VarAC, a purely text mode, is the virtual standard for EMCOM across the country One mode started this whole trend and took years to establish in amateur use, and is still viable today. It is comparable in age to the original communications mode Morse Code Join us live or on Zoom at https://W5HRC.ORG/Clublive

February 2025 Tech Talk – Discord

KD5HIY 12 February, 2025

Join Us Saturday morning, 10 AM February 15 at the EOC for a Talk on Using the Discord Service and App Presented by Mike KJ5AJU and Paul W5PFH. - Discord is the premier way to allow group or personal messaging and is heavily used by HARC. It has become the de facto meeting place for club members. - With a very colorful history, in June 2020 Discord announced it was shifting focus away from video gaming to be a more all-purpose communication and chat client for all functions, revealing its new slogan "Your place to talk." - While most users are unaware, Discord also offers audio and video chatting. - Mike and Paul will review the fundamentals of setting up Discord on your PC, Mac, or phone, and becoming a member user of the HARC group, as well as others. - As of 2024, the service has about 150 million monthly active users and 19 million weekly active servers. - Most hams today seem to thrive on text over other modes; Discord is a natural place to congregate and share ideas and announcements.
