Okay. It was fun listening to the #omik #cw net on 40m last night. I always wondered how a #cw net works! My copying was a little rusty at 12 wpm. It’s been a minute.🙄🤣

@kb6nu I just learned about Qtel, the #echolink client for #linux from someone in the #OMIK net moments ago.

@KF0UNK @kb6nu @n8gnj @vk2tty @9v1rt Recommend reading the paper but my take away was that radio was a #greenbook on the air for #black travelers BITD and they created their own on air culture that survives today on #omik nets and zoom meetings.

Lurking as the #OMIK net on 20m close down. Great operators https://www.omikradio.org/ #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

one thing about #omik folk everything is professional and best practice. https://www.omikradio.org/

listening on #omik #peanut #digital conference room with #openspot3 and #yaesu #ft5

So I reached out to fellow members of #OMIK about @howardu #AmateurRadio Society and I learned that the club was active from 1953-1970 with the callsign W3RID. there’s even an article about the college club in the school 📰 I wonder if @arrl has any record of the club. I’d love to work with students, professors and other alumni to reactivate HARS!

I had a chance to reach a secret goal over this weekend. I spoke with an #Ghanaian #AmateurRadio operator #WestAfrica on the #OMIK #Echolink net. One of my bucket list items was to have a QSO with someone from #africa. I imagined that it would be over #hf but I'll take the #echolink contact for now. 😁

Never been a social net person, but the Sunday #omik nets are great.

So much so, I joined only to discover that the members are serious about operating. From #pota activations to #satellites

Listen for #w0mik.
