Just a casual day of receiving amateur radio packets into JavaScript and parsing the data in them.

Very cool! Now, may I interest you in some DMRplus QSOs? ;)

Interested, of course. But I've not done any DMR as all I have are Yaesu radios. It's all C4FM for me. We could probably use EchoLink or IRLP—I know there are repeaters near me for that. Or maybe APRS? If you have a license that lets you do HF stuff we could try actual SSB or maybe JS8Call.

Haven't tried EchoLink yet, but it's on my to-do - or to-try - list. Regarding HF, my license only includes 10m but I don't have any 10m gear yet. As for DMR, if you want to play around with that without having to buy anything, maybe this could be a good first step: github.com/rohithzmoi/D...

I've got EchoLink up and running. If you have an EchoLink repeater near you I can connect to it. Then, you just talk to the repeater like you normally would and I would be talking into my phone or computer.

Not a repeater, but there is a simplex link close by, DB0HML-L (node 682273). Do you happen to know if I need to use a burst tone with those, too?

Well, currently listening to the link so if you got a moment to spare feel free to call DN9DC and let's see if can have a quick QSO.

That was fun!

Certainly was! Looking forward to the next round. :)
