The only issue I've found with Zoom is related to the internet bandwidth capabilities of the attendees. People with poor bandwidth (DSL, for example), will appear lower resolution on the screen, and their voices may cut in and out. One can certainly tell the difference between those with high bandwidth, and those with low bandwidth. People using a cell phone and having a low bandwidth tower connection has also been an issue. I wouldn't want to try that here at my house, I live in a "one-bar" at most cell phone area! Most of my Zoom meetings have been in the late afternoon/evenings Pacific time, and Zoom itself has had no issues. I've never tried it early in the morning though. 73; Mike W7VO

All:
A meeting of the A&F Committee will be held via Zoom at 11:00 AM EDT on 5/16/2020.
I have had varying degrees of success with Zoom meetings over the past couple of months; sometimes they work flawlessly and at other times some attendees intermittently can’t be heard, or can’t hear the group. I’ve been using Zoom for a number of years and the recent swell of users has been noticeable. I’m hoping that the time and day (Saturday morning) will move us away from the ‘crush hour’ of M-F during the standard business hours that most users are working from home and using the platform. It’s all about the bandwidth! We will see what happens.
