Our guest speaker will be Mooneer Salem.

 

SSB faces many issues makeing qsos on hf difficult.  What if these challenges could be reduced or eliminated using modern techniques?  This talk describes how freedv, with the help of an ardc grant, used machine-learning to create a better-than-ssb digital voice mode, radio autoencoder (rade).

 

mooneer salem (k6aq) has been a ham since the early 2000s. mooneer is a software engineer by trade specializing in medical devices, and has helped develop and maintain the freedv project since 2020.  he has contributed code to and developed several other open source projects, including a web based magnetic loop controller and winlink.  when not developing software, mooneer typically monitors 14.236 Mhz for freedv traffic or other digital modes such as ft8 or js8call.

 

 

Come learn about this interesting digital mode.  We look forward to seeing you on august 6^th.

PARC was founded in February of 1936 and strives to provide the best services available to the San Diego HAM community.  PARC hosts monthly membership meetings at the Harding Community Center (3096 Harding St, Carlsbad, CA 92008)., details about the next meeting can be found on the Events page.  We also host several annual events, like Field Day, Operating Day, and a picnic.  Our repeaters serve not only as a means of communication for all HAMs in the area, but also host specific nets to allow specific topic discussions or practice for emergency preparedness.  Some of our nets include the National Traffic Service (NTS), MARA, SATERN, and Red Cross.  Special interest nets include Microwave, Ham Help, Handi-Hams, and the new C4FM Help group.

Our repeaters are located near the top of Palomar Mountain, at about 5600ft above sea level, and operate on a battery bank that is fed by commercial power.  We proudly maintain independent power for several weeks in the event of an extended grid outage, and indefinitely if we make a trip with a generator and fuel.

Thank you for stopping by, feel free to give a shout out on our repeaters, or join us for our monthly meeting!
Membership is not a requirement for using the repeaters or attending the meeting. However, we would encourage you to join the club and experience all the benefits of membership.
