RSGB GB2RS news is now also broadcast in FreeDV. The transmission starts at 8.50am on 3.640MHz ± QRM followed at 9am by the news. The post-news net is from 9.30 to 10am. The initial launch is by Matthew Phillips, G6WPJ in Suffolk JO01jx.
FreeDV is a new mode for sending voice over HF and VHF frequencies using digital modulation of the voice. Currently to operate FreeDV stations will need to use a PC with suitable software or an SM1000 accessory with a transceiver capable of SSB operation.
