HB9TF Shack Session Q3

Everything happens in the Garage …

HB9GVM — attitude stickers explain the obvious.

Today we had a great HAM radio engineering session in our HB9TF Garage Shack in Fluntern. HF conditions were horrible (FlexRadio Maestro in the back), so we were focusing on expanding the APRS infrastructure for our Zurich and St. Moritz QTH. We also made a big step forward consolidating data from our Wires-X repeaters and APRS log data into a centralized Influx database. We are looking forward to present unified location and traffic information through a Grafana interface once we manage to push gentrified Wires-X logs to a safe place.

HB9ESX — two coffees and still a solid hand.

No soldering iron left behind: Wiring up a backup APRS TNC will always require proper V.24 soldering skills. Coastal Chipworks seized operations, so we pickup up all the kits we had to create backup for future operations before moving to a new TNC platform. We’re committed to the best and most stable APRS software aprx, while we’re trying to extend telemetry capabilities to integrate the uRAD radiation sensor.

HB9TF Shack — Enough talent for a Unicorn, but the HAM spirit doesn’t care …

Thanks for the great team spirit. Tango Foxtrot 73.
