---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dick Frey <k4xu@...>Date: Mon, Feb 17, 2025 at 2:48?PM Subject: 7QP is May 3rd To:
Greetings from the 7QP!
The 17th annual 7QP will run this year on Saturday, May 3. We have
an outstanding record to uphold. Based on number of logs received
last year, 7QP is still the 3rd largest QSO party in the country
and growing. For the past several years we have had all 36 Oregon
Counties on the air. All kinds of 7QP info is available at .
If you log on a computer, please email us a copy of your log even
if you don’t care to compete for an award. It helps us score the
event. A convenient Web Form is
available to paste or upload your log into.
If you are not using a computer logging program, now is the time
to get into it. I suggest using .
It's easy, it's FREE, and was used by 63% of all entrants last
year. Even if you are using another program to log your QSOs,
DXCC, etc, you can easily export your log from N1MM? back into it
when the contest is over. Not only that, since there are three
other QSO parties that also use our weekend, N1MM is the only one
that will let you log their exchange as sent. You can then enter
these by sending your log to them too. It helps us and them also.
Whether you can participate this year or not, I'd appreciate your
reply to confirm your email address (and note any duplication), so
we can make other arrangements to cover your county. Gilliam,
Grant, Harney, Hood River, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Walawa,
Wasco, and Wheeler remain as targets for expeditions and/or
mobiles.
Talk it up when you can. Consider giving a talk to your local club
about the 7QP.? Your support and enthusiasm for this event is the
backbone of the participation in Oregon. And remember to put May
3rd on your wife’s calendar so you don’t get pre-scheduled.
I look forward to hearing from you and, as always, thanks for your
support of the 7QP.
73,
Dick Frey, K4XU

This affects all of us, and sets the grounds for removal of access for generations to come.
If you are able, please attend the public meeting with Congressman Cliff Bentz.? Let him know about our concerns with the proposed elimination of the "open unless closed" designation within the Wallowa-Whitman and Malheur Forests. Baker County Town Hall Wednesday, February 19th

January 2025 Meeting Minutes
Attached is the meeting minutes for January 2025.

? Hello,
I was working on getting Winlink to work with my Apple devices. ?As “one of those people” who does not have any Windows or Android devices, I was hoping to find a way to do Winlink and potentially some of the other digital things from my iPad or iPhone.
I came across a program that runs on iPad or iPhone and handles Winlink. ?It can send messages easily with Telnet (over Wi-Fi/cellular). ?It can pair with packet KISS TNC radios and modems via Bluetooth or VARA modems via Wi-Fi. ?I will put below the item I am using and the links to what I bought to make it work.
I am using an iPad with a USB-C connection. I have tested this on both a Tidradio H8 and a Yaesu FT-70D. ?Here is what I used to link it all together:
- App - RadioMail (works on iPhone or iPad)?
- This link has lots of information about modes, connections, features, and more. ?I would look it over if you are looking to go down the route.
- PTT control cable - This is the Digirig Lite (I went with this because my iPad has USB-C, and any newer phone will also have USB-C)?
- You can also use this cable, I think, but read the product warnings as it might not work on all devices.?
- Yaesu Audio cable - This plugs into my Yaesu and then into the Digirig Lite. ?I had no problems having this setup trigger PTT or hear the incoming audio.?
- Tidradio Audio cable - This is the same as the Yaesu one just for different audio plugin types. The description shows it working with many radios like Baofeng, Kenwood, and more.?
For me, I am using the HT to do Winlink on 2m. This app does support the other bands; you just need to find the interface for the radio that works for you.
The app does have a one-time upfront cost of, I think, $15. The app is kept updated, the features seem to be in-depth, and the developer and community are very responsive. For me, I found it worth the cost. ?I was happy to support this developer because it is an app that is modern and saved me from getting a laptop to haul around. ?
This app also does support the Winlink Forms, and I found it easy to fill out and read them. ?As I am not familiar with exactly how the Windows ones work, I cannot speak to if it’s worse/same/better. ?It does feel very good to me though. ?The forms do have a yearly $10 cost. ?Again, I don’t mind that as it supports the developer, and he keeps it updated with new forms as they are added.
If you have questions or want to know more on this, I am happy to share what knowledge I can. I am still learning as I go.
