Simplex Net: Jan 13

Post date: Jan 07, 2013 3:56:36 AM

Next week's net will not be held on the 147.26 repeater, but will instead be held on a simplex frequency.

146.480 MHz (WD2) - Designated frequency

146.500 MHz (LV) - Backup frequency

146.460 MHz (WD1) - Backup backup frequency

Like exercises held last September and at other times, there are several reasons we're doing this:

1. Practice communications without the aid of an automatic repeater

2. Map simplex coverage areas

3. Do something different

In keeping with the 2nd reason, I am making this request of all net members:

Please keep a list of all call signs that you personally hear check in. At some point after the net, send me a copy of that list, and I'll compile some stats to share with everyone. This is potentially valuable for EmComm planning -- we want to know what resources we have that can reach where! Thanks in advance for helping.
