WISCONSIN QSO PARTY
Hope you made your plans for the QSO party. Get a couple of other hams or someone that is interested in the hobby to stop in and observe or maybe get in on the action. It maybe warm enough to tune in that antenna now.. Short note – The Club“Shack” at St. Norbert College will be open for the Wisconsin QSO Party. They will be using the Club Callsign.

****A personal
observation… After I moved some of the radio gear around to hopefully make it
look neater, I found that the FLdigi software no longer controlled my radio as
far as setting the frequency. And more recently, the same for using Winlink.. I
remembered a long time ago I had a similar problem with a laptop. But sometimes it worked but not always..
found that it worked- when plugged into the same USB slot .. The computer I am
using for my radio stuff has 10 USB slots.
I started to move the cable from the radio to
each of the slots.. Found the right one on slot #7.. Two ways I knew it was
right. . the radio responded to the frequency change . . but when I looked at
the name that showed up on the speaker icon on the bottom right side of the
screen it said “7-7300 Codac” .. I remembered that when I first set up – I went
to the Sound control in the Settings and changed the name of the speaker and
the microphone. So only when the cable is plugged into that slot does it say
that..
That’s it for this email/
Newsletter.…
Stay RadioActive.
