Subject: [Freetel-codec2] [Announcement] FreeDV Activity Day - November 5-6, 2022

Hi all,
We'll be doing another FreeDV Activity Day on the weekend of November 5-6, 2022! This event will bring together people interested in HF digital voice on the air for conversation and fun. Contacts usingthe official applicationas well as the SM1000 handheld microphone are welcome.
(Note: this is different than previous Activity Days in that you have the entire weekend, not just a 24 hour period. This may continue for future Activity Days based on how the upcoming one goes.) 

Event time: 12AM Pacific time (0700Z) on November 5 to 11:59PM (0759Z) on November 6 (49 hours). Note: Daylight Saving Time ends in the US during Activity Day weekend.
Suggested frequencies:80 meters: 3.625, 3.643 or 3.693 MHz40 meters: 7.177 MHz20 meters: 14.236 MHz17 meters: 18.118 MHz15 meters: 21.313 MHz12 meters: 24.933 MHz10 meters: 28.330 or 28.720 MHz
(Note that LSB/DIGL is used below 10MHz as per current convention for voice modes, USB/DIGU otherwise.)

As this isn't a contest, there's no pressure to make contacts or send logs, but you can always confirm QSOs via the usual means if you'd like (LoTW, eQSL, QRZ, etc.) Enabling PSK Reporter in the FreeDV application and joining theQSO Finderare recommended, however, so others can see that you're on the air and hearing them (for instance, here'sthe current map of listeners). :D

Feel free to spread this far and wide among your local ham friends and groups! :) Let me know if you have any questions about the event and definitely post here if you have issues getting the application working prior to the event.
Thanks,
-Mooneer K6AQ_______________________________________________
