    Going to use VOACAP for W1AW/8 planning for 2/22 to 2/27. I will be operating. This was a great presentation. I use BAP and donate on Patreon. Over time you have made a valuable contribution to my HAM life. 73 Doug N8VY👍

    Excellent Jason. Voacap looks to be an awesome pre-preparation tool.👍

    Very cool, Jason. Great use of VOACAP for planned contacts. An alternative method for more on-the-fly type things is to send a condensed version of the Primary and Alternate via Garmin Inreach.

    Well done, Jason. Thanks for explaining our plan in a bit more detail. Great call going with JS8Call slow mode over APRS.

      Thank you sir. APRS is great is some cases and worked well for us. Understanding the limits is half the battle.

    If I recall correctly, your counterpart in this endeavor could have also used a packing list as part of his plan. I believe I’d tackle that as page one!

    I played with Olivia several years ago, and really enjoyed it. Does Contestia offer any advantages over Olivia or is it a personal preference?

    • @KM4ACK
      @KM4ACK  Рік тому

      I don't know if it offers an advantage or not but contestia seems to work pretty well with weak signals which is why I chose it for this example. I haven't played with Olivia and it may work just as well.

    Excellent overview on not only how to use VOACAP but interpreting the results as well. DE WA1KLI
