Hi Everyone
Hope you and you’re doing well, so for this simplex adventure I will list below what I thinking we can try
1 / To start lets all meet on 146.775mhz I will take check ins
2 / Then I will put together two teams / Along with a net controller for each team
3 / Once we have that in place, team 1 and their net controller will then qsy to – 146.535mhz
4 / Team 2 and their net controller will qsy to 147.480mhz
5 / Once there, log all contacts that you are able to make / Switch Frequencies if you would like to
6 / When finished return back to 146.775mhz – Try to monitor this frequency while your on simplex if possible
7 / Once everyone returns back, I will take a roll call, then we can have a discussion on our results
8 / I will first reach out to the two net controlers and ask them for their reports
9 / Then I will go through our list and ask everyone for their report, and thoughts
10 / Then one more thing for fun – Seeing Halloween is right around the corner lets use this discussion for
some of the scary things that may keep us up at night / Here are some examples below
Radio Frequency Interference / Common Mode Interference / Lightning Strikes / Worn and inefficient coaxal cable
Cut fingers for an installation / Pile – ups / Gear ruined by water damage / Poor performing vertical antennas
Thats spooky stuff for sure / Our goal just have fun
W1FIC, Frank and myself will be set up in a spooky park and there are some around lol / Our gear will be
Yaseu FT – 991a / I will bring my Yaseu FT – 2900 for a stand by along with our h/ts
