Held on Saturday, March 9th, the thirteenth Hacking Hams covered how to use the Packet Channels functionality of Winlink to discover nearby Winlink RMS stations. We practiced sending and receiving VHF packet messages. Besides the packet radio fun, the doughnuts and coffee were pretty good too!

What could be more exciting than three whole days filled with thundering jets, vintage aircraft, good food, and Ham Radio? Despite a few difficulties with our tower, we had a good turnout for the popular event again this year! Our greatly expanded canopy space welcomed many new visitors, and several old friends!

For residents of Florida's coastal counties, the yearly start of Hurricane Season serves as a reminder to test our generators, clean out our gutters and swales, and stock up on fuel and non-perishable foods. But as Hams, we have the additional charge of making sure we are equipped and prepared to communicate under emergency conditions. More Info
