The HamSphere North American Rag Chew Net met on Friday the 09 Dec 2022 on Frequency 434.5000 Mhz at 01:00 UTC with 12 HS Operators checked in.
NET/NARC TIM (VA7FT - BC) NET CONTROL M7SBC ANDREW (GB) NET LOGGER M6INJ PETE (GB) VE3UWA WAYNE (ON) K3VIC VIC (CA) VE3CMT COLIN (ON) 2HS2265 JOE (NV) KD9TQH BOB (IN) VK5NWD LEW (SA) VE3HO/KH0 GARTH (MP) N2JOA JOHN (NY) 2HS5023 JOE (MI) Twelve operators checked in, the following question(s) was/were posed to the group: A question from 16 Apr 2015 to Support: HS4.0 is too complex for the users without a HAM license. It is like those flight simulators that you can only use when you are almost a real pilot Luckily in those simulators you can set the level of realism lower , so you don't crash all the time. In HS4.0 the setting for realism is ultra realistic and fixed and because of that there are some negative consequences: 1. It excludes people. To be able to use it you should have at least a HAM license because the antenna and propagation theory is above most regular (non-Ham licensed) Hamsphere users . It's quite complex 2. The realistic propagation setting means that I cannot make connections if I want to, because of bad propagation. I don't see the fun in that. 3. It is expensive. To have a real good set in which you are equal to other HS4.0 users you need to spend quite a bit of money. 4. Users feel intimidated by the cost in time and money needed to be able to understand and use HS4.0 properly. If there would be settings in HS4.0 for lower realism it would take out the fun for the real die-hards. Maybe we can share some thoughts about this and discuss it ? Interesting thoughts, ideas and discussion given by all. Thanks to all who participated. The next session of this net will be on Wednesday December the 14th at 01:00 UTC on freq 434.500 for Check In round followed by the Round Table or Discussion portion. Net Control will be NET/NARC assisted by a Net Logger, please join them. A North American Rag Chew Net Forum has been added to the Forum pages on HamSphere for all to read.
