MichiganONE DMR Net for 7/22/2019

Net Summary

Stations Checked In: 24
Net Closed: 9:21 PM

The net today saw 24 stations checking in, on this "break in the weather" edition of the net, setting a new record. We had 4 new stations join us for the net this evening; N8GTX, KE8JVO, KE8KGL, and N8EMA. Welcome to the net everyone, we hope to hear you back soon and often!

The network seemed to hold up well during the net and most stations had little to no packet loss. Jay WB8TKL outlined some of the fantastic repeater maintenance work done by a crew of amateurs over in the Ann Arbor area, including some improvements to the DMR repeater serving Ann Arbor and surrounding area. Fine work Jay and Team, thank you for your time and efforts in DMR and the hobby at large - it's appreciated.

The net today saw 13 stations checking in, on this "Amazon Prime Day" edition of the net. We had 2 net stations join the net this evening; KD8GOB and AD8CV. Welcome to the net and we hope to hear you back soon and often.

BrandMeister seemed to be having some issues this evening, the hoseline and dashboards were unavailable. While we had an average amount of stations checking in, those issues might have caused some stations to be unable to check in.

MichiganONE DMR Net for 7/8/2019

Net Summary

Stations Checked In: 18
Net Closed: 9:11 PM

The net today had a better than average showing, with 18 stations checking in on this "Firework Haze" edition of the net. The net today had no new stations checking in, which was a change from the last few week - and a good sign the word is getting out.

Stations reported better network performance this week, and that is welcomed - especially at net time. If you experienced better performance, let us know on the Network Quality Report or just leave a comment below. Knowing this information can really help pin down where issues are and help guide others when experiencing similar issues. It's why we're here.

Announcements
  • I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July holiday.
  • BrandMeister USA has reinstated TAC310 as of this morning. Please remember this is not a calling TG and parking yourself on there will earn you a 24 hour ban from the network.
  • HAMRADIO 2.0 is doing a live DMR Q&A this Wednesday on his YouTube Channel. If you have questions about DMR, it's probably a good place to get a answer.
  • KM8CC repeater in Kalamazoo has changed frequencies to 443.400 / 448.400 - it's also moved to a slightly higher tower south of downtown.

MichiganONE DMR Net for 7/1/2019

Net Summary

Stations Checked In: 21
Net Closed: 9:11 PM

The net today had another record-setting evening, with 21 stations checking in, on this "Canada Day / Pre-July 4th" edition of the net. We had 5 new stations join us for the net this evening; KE8GRY, K8DET, KE8IPS, KE8ICM, and N8MCZ, who wants us to know, it's her radio! Welcome to the net everyone, we hope to hear you back soon and often.

Many stations reported packet loss and artifacting this evening, and at the suggestion of net regular Andie KE8KOY, we determined it could be stations using different masters. N8RMA / NCS was using US3108 and others on that master reported solid quality from net control. Next week NCS might try US3102 for the net to see if that has any bearing on quality. Big thank you to Andie for the observation - it's why we do what we do.

This is a decent plug for our Net Quality Report, which is open to anyone who checked in (or who tried to check in) to our net. Feel free to submit a quality report as often as you'd like.
