Thanks to Lucille #KD8PTE for running the net and asking after my Mom.
Checked in to the Hiawatha Amateur Radio Association Sunday night net, tonight (and all Sundays) at 700p Eastern time.
HARA runs a 6-repeater linked system #K8LOD in Marquette and Alger County Michigan, in the U.P. Check-ins from Marquette, Gwinn, Harvey, Three Lakes, plus one person on Echolink from Seward, Alaska.
Thanks to Lucillie #KD8PTE for being net control !
QSO just now with Lucille #KD8PTE on the #K8LOD repeater in Marquette, MI using #HamShackHotline .
K8LOD is on Echolink and on Allstar, and apparently the Ham Shack Hotline connection is via that Allstar interconnect.
Audio quality very good (as I guess I would expect since it's analog all the way?)
"Is it ham radio?"
It was analog RF on Lucille's end, and also we didn't completely understand how the bits were being routed, so I guess yes?
