We would like to continue the Data net alternately on the York KVHF 146.97 machine  and the following week on the SMRA 145.43 machine in Mt Holly Springs. The net would be on Sunday evenings from 1900 to 2000 hours. Everyone in both clubs is invited to either net. This is an introduction to using the data modes on the air. This net will especially explore the data modes where conversations may take place or images may be exchanged. WSPTX’s FT8 and FT4 are a lot of fun and are great for getting awards but do not allow for exchanging information other than Callsign, location, and signal report. This net encourages everyone to get on the air and use these modes to operate and converse with each other.

***** For our first net ****

Slow Scan Television (SSTV) has been very popular on this net. Our first net on Sunday, 10/26/2025 will be dedicated to that mode. At the bottom of this page is a listing of software that may be required for many of the data modes that we will be exploring. For our first net we will be running MMSSTV for the entire session. Please have the program “MMSSTV” installed on your computer. If you are having trouble configuring the program correctly, we will go over that during the net.

What: Weekly Data Net to be held alternately on the SMRA 145.43, and KVHF 146.97 repeaters.

When: Sunday evenings starting 1900 running until 2000 local time
