I picked up the DigiRig DR-891 sound interface, which is specifically made for the Yaesu FT-891 radio. The FT-891 doesn't have its own built-in sound card, so this interface is a great step towards making the FT-891 plug-n-play. Let's take a look at how to set this up and how simple it is to make FT8 contacts from POTA with this DigiRig.

On Friday, August 16 of this year, we met as a group at the Monte Sano State Park in Alabama before the Huntsville Hamfest. This is our 3rd year to do this type of meetup - myself and other YouTubers all gather and invite our audiences for a fun-filled day of POTA at the State Park. @AA0Z volunteered to cook lunch for everyone again this year, and asked for donations to cover food costs. All donation money received above and beyond expenses is being donated to the ARRL Teachers' Institute. During this livestream, we will offer a recap of that event, present Steve, K5ATA, with the earnings from this year, and learn more about the TI program at ARRL.

As most of you know, my account was hacked earlier this year, then it was banned. After several hundred emails to Facebook, no reply was ever received. So I am thinking about creating a new Page for this channel.

Also, if you haven't already, sign-up for my email list. The list it around 19,300 subscribers right now, and when it reaches 20,000, I will be giving away another HF radio. Sign-up here - https://hamradio2.com/email-signup

I made a couple of videos about products that Temu sent me and they want you to install their app to get a $100 coupon that they offered to me, to give to you. But in my videos I said I would install the app onto a tablet or device that isn't my main EDC device, and maybe doesn't have any personal data on it. Well, according to this article and group, that is a good idea.

Meshtastic is a great way to use a license-free communications system via text messaging. It uses LoRa, which is a long-range radio system, to communicate. I've had a few of these devices for a while and I am getting them setup to take to Dayton Hamvention next week. In this video I show how to flash 2 different models of units and how they work together.

Who owns the frequency on the HF Ham Radio Bands? If a Net runs every day at a specific time, does that mean they "own" the frequency? Do you have to move off of "their frequency" if you are using it before they start their net?
