Re: PARKspot
KA9JAC
Wayne,
There are many ways to spot PARKspot is one that Kraig, KA2LHO has put together, which will also put a spot out to the County hunter network. After all parks are in counties and you never know who might need one of those. 73 Bob On 4/23/2018 5:27 AM, Wayne Robertson wrote: What is PARKspot that I've seen referenced in some of these threads?

Re: Magic 44 clarification request
KA9JAC
Different band, different mode,
different day (utc) are all acceptable.
So you can work a station on every band and mode he does today, and tomorrow do it all over again. 73, 44 Bob, KA9JAC On 4/23/2018 5:35 AM, Wayne Robertson wrote: I've read the rules and see that 44 qso's may be accomplished on different days or visits to a park. Rule 4.8.3 states that dups are not allowed; makes sense. However is a qso with the same station on same band and mode, on different days, a dup? 4.6.4 and 3.8.4 implies they'd be unique but I just want to be certain, thanks.

Re: A first activation planned for Seabranch Preserve State Park, FL
Dear Wayne, thanks for the offer but I will respectfully decline. It would not be fair to the other CW peeps if we made a "sked" for a CW sked and left others out. Perhaps that would be acceptable to others but not in this shack. Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass. 73 / 44 Jess Guaderrama W6LEN Jess Question everything. Accept nothing as fact until proven.

Dear Sarge (I used to be a grunt myself), not planning CW as I don't copy call signs in a pileup situation well at all, but if you wanted to sked a cw qso while I'm at the park, be glad to oblige. 15-16 wpm Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

I've also had positive results posting to the global activation calendar at http://wwff.co. 3pm might be pretty good for some EU contacts, and a lot of folks in the EU especially seem to look for parks that have never been activated before. -detrick K4IZ

Using APRS for spotting
Detrick Merz
I learned today that the SOTA folks have a system that leverages APRS for spotting: Does anything similar exist for WWFF? I, for one, would be interested in such a system. I often find myself with a drained phone battery and a noticeable hit to my data usage when trying to activate a park. Or in a park where there's little or no cell service. I have some spare tablets that have wifi, but no data plan. I've been thinking about setting up a Raspberry Pi + Direwolf + WiFi + radio, and having APRSDriod on the tablet using Direwolf (across wifi) as a TNC. But I know of no way, currently, to send a message through the APRS network and have it converted to a WWFF spot. Of course the reverse direction would be equally useful: receiving spot data from other activators via APRS message, for those P2P contacts. 73, 44, -detrick K4IZ

Re: Parks Diverge
Dave,
I post on DX Summit and it gets picked up by SmartWWFF. Once you have been identified once on SmartWWFF, it will report RBN spots for you which is a very nice feature.

That does appear to be the case now. I do recall in the past people checking
this and saying that it does not, so things may have changed. Thanks Tom. I'm still feeding SpotCollector from 3 Telnet nodes.
