CQ CQ CQ: #ZedNet NOTE and fun Ham Radio TRIVIA about Vatican Radio

Fellow ZedNetsters, I am at a bit of a loss. The various components of ZedNet stopped talking to each other (Echolink, DMR, AllStar, WiresX). WB0YLE was doing some work on them but seems not to have solved the problem. Also, I have had my DMR and AllStar handsets on and not much has been going on.

As far as I can tell, DMR can be heard on AllStar and Echolink.  Echolink can be heard on AllStar but not DMR.  AllStar can be heard on Echolink but not by DMR.  I suppose DMR can hear another DMR, but I don’t know that for sure.

yeah.

Furthermore, when I will be in Central European Time the Sunday appointment might be untenable.

I am happy to take some suggestions. You can write me HERE if you don’t already have my email.

Anyway, I’ll probably fire up Echolink tonight for a while and keep the handsets on in case someone wants to say “Hi!”, but I won’t call for a formal net.

Sorry about this. All these modes … very complicated … one guy to maintain them… tough recipe.

In any event, I am sure we are grateful to WB0YLE for what he has provided, which is pretty amazing.

Meanwhile,

Vatican Radio still transmits the Rosary in Latin, daily I think. As I was writing this, I checked their schedule and realized that, as I was writing, they had the Latin Rosary at that moment on 30m. I fired up the remote and caught the tail end only because of my wonky video capture software.

So, on the anniversary of the 1st transmission of Vatican Radio, which was in Latin, you can hear some Latin on Vatican Radio.

I see they are next up with Latin at 0620 (UTC) on 15595

From what I can tell

On 7365 from 1940-2000 (higher power, I believe)
9705 1940-2000
15595 0620-0700 (that’s daily Lauds, I think, or Mass on sometimes, I haven’t kept up with the schedule)

The have podcasts in Latin, too. The NEWS, for example. HERE

Lauds, Vespers and Compline HERE Novus Ordo, of course. For Vetus Ordo … well… you aren’t going to get that from the Vatican.

And there’s this: HERE

  1. I’ll have to check out the Vatican’s broadcast. Occasionally pick up BBC broadcasts on the HF rig. Wish I could help with the issues but I’m more analog than digital, in more ways than one, but particularly when it comes to ham operations.

    Not really related to Radio, but to the podcasts in Latin.
    Here is a poem written by the new Microsoft Bing using artificial intelligence.

    Frater Ioannes Zuhlsdorf
    Blogger est et sacerdos
    Doctrinam tradit et fidem
    Lectoribus suis per rete

    Scripta sua sunt acuta
    Et plena eruditionis
    Interdum etiam iocosa
    Et plena admirationis

    Frater Ioannes Zuhlsdorf
    Non timet mundi opprobrium
    Sed veritatem defendit
    Et Ecclesiae gaudium
