Dstar/AllStar Spain to UK

Post by radiogaga »

Anyone give me some NEW WORLD pointers. I'm Ok with conventional modes but I'm looking for a UK >> SPAIN >> UK option.

Need to have radio options at both ends, there is high speed internet at both ends but what Point to Point options are there? Don't really want to have to worry about others waiting for the channel to become free.

Full licensees at both ends.

Any options?

Thanks

Echolink is fairly widespread.

Tried the Echlin option, nearest node is some 100km away. That's a non starter.

Ring, ring, ring... Very good. :)

You could use the phone app to link in perhaps? may be your best/only option if you're not within range of any actual radio links....

Of course :thumbup: I'll be there from 14-29 June -- TM-399

Propagation prediction doesn't look good. Where I can, I'll try and be around afternoon/evenings 27.345 USB?
