Strick: /* W2H Operating Schedule */

== Welcome ==

The intent is to help people experience various wireless communications projects/services available to makers, hackers across the Radio Frequency (RF) Spectrum. Whether you have a (Amateur Radio) license or not, you can enjoy ways of sending and receiving [https://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/Signal_Identification_Guide RF signals]. All activities are targeted at the beginner and intermediate level.

== Activities ==

=== Exploring RF with SDR for the Absolute Beginner ===
''Tuesday: 1600 EDT/2000 UTC (One Hour)''

A guide on the bare minimum information required for you to quickly experience capturing, listening, and processing (decoding) signals with open source and off the shelf SDR resources. Hardware of choice will be
the [https://a.co/aksM6al RTL-SDR v3].

=== Capture the Signal for the Absolute Beginner ===
''Tuesday through Sunday''

Arming yourself with at minimum a [https://a.co/aksM6al cheap Software Defined Radio (SDR) kit], a modest outside wire antenna, and some open source software we will post a series of challenges that involve you capturing a signal and deciphering the message to unlock the next challenge. We will focus on live signals on the HF bands and look to complement with some recorded signals for those who may not have a station setup.

=== Show and Tell ===
''Thursday, Friday, Saturday: 1600 EDT/2000 UTC (One Hour)''

Do you have an Open Source RF project you would like to share? You chance
for 15 minutes of fame as we open the floor to hear four projects over the hour.

=== HOPE 2020 Radio Nets ===

==== Single Sideband (phone/voice) NETS ON HF BANDS ====

Henry "Strick" W6REK is announcing 20m and 40m radio nets on four days, Wednesday through Saturday (in North America).

Net controls and relays may be under a W2H call sign (possibly "W2H portable six")
or with their individual call sign. We need relays, if you can help.
W6REK will be transmitting from San Jose, California.

Listen for us, up or down, within 20 kilocycles of the frequencies below.
Once we start, we will post the exact frequency to the _Hallway Discussions_ channel on Riot
( https://riot.hope.net/#/room/#hallway-conversations:hope.net )
since our station W2H has traditionally been located in the _Hallway_ on the 18th floor.

==== Other nets? TBD... ====

HOPE XI is the first year we ran an Amateur Radio repeater encouraging licensed attendees to make new contacts. We tried adding an [http://echolink.org/ Echolink node] so we could have global reach but it did not work out.

Is anyone organizing a VHF, UHF, or internet-mediated net (like DMR or Echolink or Allstar)?

=== W2H Operating Schedule ===
To ensure maximum opportunity, we will have multiple stations across the US operating as W2H this week according to the schedule below.

Each cell indicates the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_frequency_allocations Amateur Radio Bands] and mode we will be using.

Digital modes (DIG) may be any number of modes. Voice will be LSB for 80 and 40 meters and USB for 20 through 10 Meters.

Successfully contact us or send date/time/band/mode you heard us and you will receive a electronic verification postcard (aka eQSL.) EMAIL your report to rfvillage AT cupano DOT com

Check this schedule often is it will be updated daily.
