An entertaining FreeDV net here in south eastern Australia this morning. I had, unfortunately, changed my microphone from a desktop with a preamp to a cheap headset and got universal feedback that I sounded much worse. In the end I unplugged the headset and just used the microphone in the monitor and it was reported to be vastly superior!
Amazingly there were two stations running QMX QRP radios. They seem to work amazingly well transmitting (and presumably receiving) FreeDV.
Stations seen on air (not all transmitted) were VK5KVA Jack, VK3YV Tony, VK3BRT Barry, VK3KR David, VK3KEZ Bryan, VK3GTP, VK3AWA Daryl, VK5LN Michael, VK4APF Robert, VK6KR, VK2XOR Max, and VK5VC.
Note that I'll be away next Sunday so VK5KVA has kindly offered to be net controller.
