<p>Hi Barry... Missed out on 2m tonight, busy with VE3SAO group to
decide to save money dropping Zoom account and trying a new player
called Jitsi and its all free...</p>
<p>Some facts on Jitsi</p>
<div>
<div>1) Jitsi is entirely free with 24 hour time limit on
meetings. It looks pretty much like Zoom.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2&3) I took my web browser to <a
href="https://meet.jit.si/ve3sao" target="_blank">https://meet.jit.si/ve3sao</a>
(Use all lower case). <br>
</div>
</div>
<div>If I am the FIRST one it immediately creates a room named
ve3sao. No passwords, no user names, no email addresses, no
authorised administrators. This room link can be used many times,
so it's not necessary to email people for every meeting. There is
a warning to choose a long gibberish word for the room name so
strangers won't be able to guess it and come into the room. I
think callsigns should be good enough.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>4 ) Jitsi runs entirely in your web browser, so everyone is
looking at the same GUI. On Iphone and Android, it asks if you
wish to download the APP. I suggest you say no, so it runs in
your phone browser. You can try installing the APP another time
to see what is the difference and which you prefer.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>5) Jitsi is end-to-end encrypted in case anyone plans to get
naked ;) The Zoom company can see all the zoom videos.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>6) Some extra features of Jitsi: You can lower the video
quality if you have a slow connection. You have seperate volume
control for each video you are watching. You can click a Youtube
video and share it with everyone without needing to use Screen
Sharing. You can broadcast the meeting on Youtube-Live so
thousands of people can be watching (like a city council
meeting). <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>7) Jitsi is open-source software contributed by volunteer
developers. Anyone is free to customize and modify Jitsi. I
discovered Jitsi last week when I was looking for online poker
with video. The developer of PokerNow has embedded and customized
Jitsi into his poker program.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>P.S. It looks like 902 is a no go..... Had a multitude of
issues, transfer relay (should call it an attenuator relay) caused
some grief, PA needs work on power supply but worse of all
antenna is resonant on 903... Lots of local noise issues.... Oh
well...</div>
