If you wanted to have somebody to ask questions live about setups, transmitters, receivers, cameras, goggles - this is your chance to talk to other pilots live and ask those questions.

Don't forget tonight, starting from 8:30PM EST every second Thursday night. Tonight is meeting night.

Echolink can be accessed from iPhones, Android phones, computers; you do not need to have a transceiver to be able to talk.

If you are in Ontario, located somewhere between Orillia and Niagara Falls, you can tune a transceiver or a frequency scanner to 444.700MHz (VE3RAK UHF repeater) and you can listen to the net live.

This Thursday we will discuss the new MAAC FPV guidelines and I will answer questions around these.

Hope to see you there.

well I tried to get onto the conference. The Echolink folks wanted to validate my license first ... with a photograph. So I sent it in, but won't have a reply for days and will miss the conference tonight. Guess this Hamming isn't for me.

cheers

Hello All,

I'd be interested in listening in to the next conference. Does anyone know if there is a repeater either on 2m or 70cm in that Ottawa area that is connected for the conferences?
