Ham Radio and the Splash – 8 – 1 Day to Go

March 30, 2018 Knut

Here we are – the night before Race Day.

DMR Repeaters are package up for the move to the race course. All technical plans are as complete as they can be. Stretch Goal for this year is to put Transportation on K1ENF and keep the race course on a 2 time slot Ham DMR System. In theory, we could add unlimited hot-spot for unlimited coverage. At the end of the day, it gives us 3 talk channels. If successful, it lays the foundation for another level of ad-hoc ham radio service.
