ZL3IN Conversation Video

Here's the video of the ZL3IN c2qso.sh contact. Remember, this is just raw UDP packets over the internet, with no error correction, and you're hearing the Codec2 audio just as it was transmitted in the conversation.

    Great video! And audio too! Was that full duplex comms?

    Yes, Zilvis, the audio was duplex. With my shell script, if both sides keep 'transmit' on, it will operate duplex.

Instead, we should use the Ontario situation to do what we do best: look for technical solutions to this problem and highlight our ingenuity in the face of changing social norms.
