Maybe try 40m when that opens up for AK later. I am not getting out of CONUS on 40 right now. You were the only JS8 psk reporter station that heard me on 20m in Alaska. You were at -20/-21 and I think I lost you

The nice thing about JS8 is message forwarding. I had about 10 stations I could have relayed through to send you a message on 40m.
But you have to know to look for it. Watch some videos on that, thats where the @xxxxxxx gets better |

IMHO the best parts of JS8Call are the "heartbeats", the automation, and the message inbox.
I've left my station on all day, unattended, heartbeat and automatic replies enabled. I'll often come back to several mailbox messages and lots of log activity as people request automated responses for signal reports and "heard" lists. Definitely get up to speed on the automatic stuff. It's more useful than straight shot keyboard to keyboard messaging. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By aa777888-2: The problem with all this mid-to-long range (>50 miles) emcomm talk is that it is always just a bunch of handwaving. Consider the various real-world use cases: 1. Formal EMCOMM (MARS, ARES, whatever). - That's not what we are really talking about here, right? Moving on... 2. Casual "emcomm" during SHTF with a "grid down" beaten zone (e.g. hurricane, tornado, earthquake, something geographically limited). - In this case it just doesn't matter what mode you use. Do what you can and with whatever floats your boat. Because whether it's JS8Call, plain old SSB phone, CW, whatever, you are just playing the ham radio hobby game of "The airwaves are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get." But you will get something, somebody, somewhere, and with any luck you can get what you want/need out of it. A phone call to a friend/relative/coworker outside the beaten zone. Whatever news reporting might be available. Or perhaps a call to a rescue coordination center (for whatever that might be worth in the situation). 3. Comm's with pre-established significant others during SHTF. - In this case choosing techniques, procedures, and practice does become all important. Random amateur radio comm's are easy. Repeatable & reliable amateur radio comm's not so much. In this case choosing the mode of operation becomes an important tradeoff. There's no question the small signal properties and automation of JS8Call can be a huge advantage as long as the additional complexity of having a computer is not too much of a burden. Similarly, learning CW could be invaluable. The reality remains that for SHTF whereby communications infrastructure in orbit and outside the beaten zone remain operational, SATCOM messaging devices reign supreme for comm's beyond 50 miles. If one is serious about comm's prepping for SHTF then a satellite text messaging device and service plan is a must-have for oneself. Of course all this may become completely moot once all the major cellular providers start offering direct-to-space cellular services. Although it begs the question about messaging capacity per satellite spot beam. In which case the use cases cease to be SHTF and are probably limited only to TEOTWAWKI (no grid, no sat's, etc.). Even InReach to InReach text messages travel through ground based servers. I believe all the commercially available systems do, but I could be wrong. Without those ground servers, it isn't going to work. The only comm that works without a third party system ground system that is available for civilian use is HF radio, although WinLink will store and allow retrieval of email messages without the internet, you are still relying on somebody elses system which may or may not have backup power to operate. The only really reliable independent system is HF radio to radio and although comm within a few hundred miles is not absolutely whenever you want it, it can be pretty damn close to 100% at least once per day if the parties know what they are doing and when to do it including renewable independent power sources and the equipment to run either just the radios but also the computer if using a digital mode. In a catastrophic event that is not just local or regional in nature that takes out infrastructure comm and power , having a comm plan with loved ones within this several hundred mile region can make a big difference and is very doable. |

Being able to not be by the radio and not have to rely on 2 parties being on the radio at the same time and already having a frequency for initial contact via radio. It is a built in comm plan. |

Sounds like you need two comms systems.
VHF/UHF for local comms. You can get together and set up simplex nets or use existing local nets for practice. Bear in mind that local repeaters might be restricted to emcomm use in an emergency. HF for distant comms: 1. set up time and freq lists for attempting to connect with a few specific people. and/or: 2. Use the existing ARRL National Traffic System with radiograms. It isn't what it once was but is still around. I have thought this would be a good thing for ARES. It would take a load off of responders and give people a channel to connect with people outside the disaster zone when the cell system is prioritized for emergency traffic. |

They will just assume it is a local grid down due to normalcy bias. People with HF radio will be able to talk to other people and while enjoying the lack of man made radio frequency noise ( MMRFI ) they will be able to gather the data that the grid is down over a very non-local area, which may or may not be an advantage depending on their personality. |

This is exactly why the Icom 705 is the close to perfect radio in my mind for the regular person. All band, all mode QRP radio. It can charge and run off a 5v Anker power supply. It's the only radio that can do that. It's perfect for digital modes. It's small enough to carry in a pack.
I recently bought the mobilinkd TNC4 and can now send SMS/email2 messages with my Yaesu HT, or Icom 705 via APRSdroid. I can send email messages via WoAD packet (Android) or Radiomail (Apple). Beacon my position via APRSdroid. I believe the TNC4 can also be a digipeater, but I haven't tried that yet. Supplemented closely by the Kenwood TM-D710GA 2m/70 mobile radio. It's 50w, can do APRS, Winlink, crossband repeat and set as a digipeater. The Kenwood has full TNC control and can be used as a modem to send emails via Winlink with a computer/tablet. The 710 can also communicate to the Winlink service via APRSlink without a computer. We are lucky to have all this fun stuff to play with. |

That whole MMRFI thing is very real. I experienced that rather unpleasantly in Puerto Rico when I was there.  On the flip side, during the Great Texas Deep Freeze of 2021, having a regional power outage made HF from the apartment here an actual joy. Noise floor being so low had me hearing stations I never would have before.

The 2m Simplex "emergency" net was tonight. Unfortunately the furthest away station was only 41 miles away and I was S9 to him. So I wasnt able to hear anyone that couldn't hear me to know the limits. I heard everyone that checked in. I spun the beam away from NC and I was a S4 beaming away.
Look out point at about the max elevation (+-200ft) for the area. The Yaesu FT-270 2M only handheld is still the best VHF Rx radio I have. I tried the TYT-390 and got horrible Rx and Tx. I....... might have been in narrowband though...... no way to see from the front panel in VFO mode that I am away of.  Attached File1.1 SWR on the frequency used, tested while elevated on the 12' painters pole. |

JS8call is primarily for keyboard-to-keyboard chatting. Also see VarAC. What you're describing is more like Winlink messaging combined with the National Traffic System to pass along delivery, except with human operators attempting delivery instead of computers. |

JS8CALL doesn't do that. It does do group test however. and you can do a station hearing query and also message forwarding. It's more for addended vs unattended, but it does have some automated functions. |

JS8Call can run unattended.
JS8Call can send short text messages to other JS8Call users. JS8Call messages can be received and stored in a "mailbox" for later retrieval, unattended. JS8Call generates confirmation of message delivery. JS8Call does not have a retry feature. JS8Call can act as an unattended APRS I-gate. If they ever fix the SMSGTE service for APRS then SMS message from JS8Call to phone number is possible. Google SMSGTE to see the whole story on that. |

I don't know any of the features of Olivia, but to me JS8 is the standard. Olivia seems cool, but complicated. JS8 is derived from WSJT-X FT8, so the initial setup for JS8CALL is virtually the same. JS8CALL is free. I took a system that was running WSJT-X (computer and TX) and had JS8CALL up and running in less than an hour. The second one I did was less than half an hour. I think JS8CALL is the new hotness. Most of the activity for JS8CALL appears to be on 20 during the day and 40 during the night. I see lots of opportunity to use 15, 17 and 30m without much neighboring traffic. |

We just type on computers, we arent slamming decade switches running split from the belly of a B-17 Flying Fortress with a straight key strapped to our ankle. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DarkLordVader: Would JS8Call be a good mode for a slow SMS type service? Here are some capabilities I would like to learn and practice.
Did some research on this. JS8Call, like FLDigi, has the option to enable a remote control port via TCP or UDP. So you can script any of these behaviors and run a fully automated station. It is not well documented, but there are a few python packages out there that implement and demonstrate the API calls. It look like it can do all the messages and cat control as well. |
