2021-10-02 16:49:27 K0KEX: Thanks to all. Looking forward to hearing comments. want 3 ups and 3 downs from everyone
2021-10-02 16:50:32 K0RGB: had a good time. Learned about APRS droyd feature. W3W went well. Need to work on w3w's verification overall net went well.
2021-10-02 16:51:26 KF0CJM: had a lot of fun! w3w's worked well. APRS worked even better - faster and more reliable, so maybe we need to work on that more.
2021-10-02 16:53:19 W4XJ: REALLY enjoyed it. Got some exercise. Varied each time in how he did the w3w reports and needs to be standardized. He mentioned his only consistencies. He echo's CJM's comments re: APRS. Good shakedown re: the equipment we all have.
2021-10-02 16:55:00 KD0FUE: Had fun! Too much info re: the Guide that was sent out. Too much info to consolidate at one time. Handbook. Suggests NO handout for the gen ham community and just for the Leaders.
2021-10-02 16:55:17 KD0FUE: Logger completely agrees with him!!
2021-10-02 16:57:48 KA0SXY: Had fun! Good conversations at FS 2 - got a chance to use all the equipment. Handbook needs to be less technical. Needs to give instructions for a sim scenario in a more generic fashion and let the Operator figure it out, like would happen in a RW situation.
2021-10-02 17:00:35 KY0O: Really enjoyed it. There might have been static buildup on the antenna. Sending the w3w via NC might be better than via voice.
2021-10-02 17:01:06 KY0O: THat is send w3w via text to NC.
2021-10-02 17:01:56 KY0O: suggest hams slow down voicing their call signs.
2021-10-02 17:03:47 AK0SK: Had fun! Had to program his radio and APRS worked very well for him. He doesn't see any downside today.
2021-10-02 17:05:58 KD0NBH: Thanks to all! Great use of the equip in FS 2. Still has a problem with w3w as it still keeps him about 60 feet from where he actually is. There was a fair amount of dead time and he would like to get folks more active.
2021-10-02 17:12:08 WA0TJT: Would like to get rid of the ID voice on the repeater. We had a Curl error on the online NCM view. Keith will check this out further. Great participation on the APRS and w3w's drill portion of the SET today
2021-10-02 17:12:57 WA0TJT: Needs a better timestamp for the APRS entry. So he learned a coding issue with this location positioning.
2021-10-02 17:13:59 WA0TJT: Entering the w3w to the online website and verifying the street with the operator worked well to make sure we were in the right part of the world.
2021-10-02 17:15:08 WA0TJT: Enjoyed having 2 separate nets for voice and digital. Made for better tracking of folks who were on our net.
2021-10-02 17:17:41 W0DLK: Overall SET went very well. w3w's went good when operator gave some representation of the words, such as .sniff if you said what you do with your nose (as example). Thanked everyone for all the patience with time needed for verification. We had only a few opportunities to test APRS, so more work needed on that, but we learned what is needed.
2021-10-02 17:19:34 K0KEX: Closing comments and back to Net.
2021-10-02 17:19:43 N0TMH: Initial Log In
2021-10-02 17:20:48 N0TMH: First SET exercise and really appreciated what planning went into it. Learned a lot and now knows his equipment limitations.
2021-10-02 17:22:19 KY0O: In real emergency you might have to "hurry up and wait" so this is not unusual.
2021-10-02 17:23:38 KY0O: w3w's is new so we need to give it a chance. Can send through text or through APRS Chat or some other chat to send to NC.
2021-10-02 17:30:49 W0DLK: The log was closed, ICS-214 Created
