April 7 – Monthly Meeting: FLAMP & FLDIGI with N2ADD

Area hams are welcome to join us for our Friday, April 7th monthly meeting at 7:00 pm at St. James Lutheran Church, 93 Kugler Rd. in Limerick, PA. Refreshments will be served. 

The April meeting is a follow up by Nate Rosenthal, N2ADD to the Fldigi presentation he gave in February. In this presentation he will demonstrate two companion programs to Fldigi: Flamp and Flmsg.

Flamp is a program for file transfer. Flmsg is used to compose and format messages. Both of these operate in conjunction with Fldigi and are not one-to-one. They are free and can be downloaded from the same site as Fldigi.

This will also be participatory. Please download and install both Flamp and Flmsg before the meeting. Bring the same items you brought to the February meeting:

 – a laptop computer and an HT.
– a speaker-mic for your H Tif you have it

To download the program before the meeting, go to http://www.w1hkj.com/files/. Then click on fldigi. The file to download is fldigi-4.1.23_setup.exe for Windowsfldigi-4.1.23.tar.gz for Linux. You will have to unpack and compile the Linux version for your system.

 Note: July and August meetings will be on Zoom and not at the church.
