| Hello again fellow gophernauts.
It's been way too long, unfortunately between the exceptional year
both globally and personally, I haven't been able to do as much
here as I wanted. Alas, here I am attempting a ROOPHLOC entry.
This is a simple entry building upon last year. I'm hoping for one
modification with the opening of a local Winlink station that I
can remove the digipeater which should up throughput. Sadly, with
the apocalyptic conditions here (heavy smoke, intense heat, etc) I
wasn't able to bicycle to compose and send this message, opting to
travel via car, about 3mi (5km) away.
I'm looking forward to everyone's entries! I have some ideas for
additional entries if I have the opportunity. Secretly hoping
someone enters via mesh network, or via a modified cordless phone
link (wacky just before sleep idea I had for a remote desert phone
booth homage to the Mojave).
Anyways, be seeing you fellow text travellers.
P.S.: Looks like it was successful, direct communication with the node
using a HT with the factory rubber duck antenna. The sync script
needed to be fixed because it had the old c.s key stored but all
good after that minor update.
