MOBILE HAMFEST 27 APRIL 2024!
Dear OMs and YLs:
Greetings from the storied Mobile Hamfest in Mobile, Alabama! We have been holding our event for many years, at least since the end of World War II—the MARC has been active since the autumn of 1933. But there have been some big changes to this (ARRL sanctioned) event in the last few years.
Like many medium-sized and smaller hamfests, our event declined over the last couple of decades. Some of us didn’t like that and decided to do something about it. We are growing again in a larger and more appealing venue: The indoor facilities at the Greater Gulf State Fairgrounds in Mobile. Not only is this an expansive facility with nice rooms for talks, there are RV hookups for vendors.
We would love to have you join us on Saturday, 27 April. Anyhow, if you could distribute the attached fliers to your club membership, we would very much appreciate it!
Contact Today! Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, (@EmbryRiddle) Daytona Beach, FL, USA will talk via #HamRadio with @dominickmatthew aboard the @Space_Station. Scheduled for Wed. 03-Apr at 15:22 UTC | 11:22 AM ET direct via NN4ER. Listen on 145.800 MHz in SE US.
WIRES (Wide-coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System) is an Internet communication system which expands the range of amateur radio communication. For WIRES-X, an amateur node station connecting to the Internet is used as the access point and connects the wireless communication to the Internet. Users' stations can communicate with other amateur stations all over the world using a node within the radio wave range.
WIRES-X Features
WIRES-X supports the C4FM digital and the clear and crisp voice technology enables high sound quality. By repeating C4FM digital data as it is via the Internet, users can enjoy clear voice communications even if they are thousands of miles away each other.
Utilizing the digital communication, the WIRES-X operation is simple, easy and user friendly.
Varieties of the new functions as well as voice communications expands opportunities for enjoyment of ham station operation.
Smart Access Function
WIRES-X automatically connects to nodes and rooms via the Internet. No more need to verify connection IDs or transmit cumbersome DTMF connection codes.
Information about nodes and rooms is exchanged via C4FM Digital signaling. Thanks to automatic reconnection to the previous contact, all you need to do is press PTT and start talking.
Easily search for new nodes and rooms, and initiate communication promptly when you find an ID that captures your interest.
Activity Monitor Function
Currently active nodes and rooms can be searched in real time, and viewed on the display of your transceiver. The display list is sorted according to the number of stations currently connected to the room, in other words by popularity. This lets you quickly find other active stations to communicate with.
Node owners can freely create a room ID using letters and numbers. The ID works a bit like the name of a person. Easy to understand, meaningful names, unique names, memorable names... all are possible and can be used in a targeted search. A history of previous nodes and rooms, and a memory function with five categories makes it a snap to find and connect with a particular ID.
New Station Function
News bulletins (messages, images, voice memos) can be freely uploaded to nodes and rooms. Other users can download the saved news information. For example, sharing traffic information or other local news, or sending a snapshot of a meeting place to fellow operators, as well as a myriad of other uses are possible. It does not matter whether someone is nearby or in a country far away. WIRES-X offers a way to overcome barriers of distance, time, or even language. Welcome to a world of previously unheard-of possibilities for connecting and communicating by way of Amateur Radio and the internet.
Preset Search Function
Search and connect to local node stations with a simple button touch. The system will automatically obtain node station information and setup the required frequency and digital code parameters. Wherever there is a WIRES-X local node station that is reachable by Amateur radio, complicated connection operation steps are no longer necessary.
Node station ID, city name, as well as distance and bearing are indicated on the display of the transceiver, and can be checked at a glance. *
Now you can communicate worldwide with ease and confidence.
