HAM Radio Discussion

[rbeau30]

Perhaps we should start by polling the folks who live in harder to reach areas, what repeaters they can get to. Then we know what repeater would work best for most of us.

Then we can informally meet there at certain times, and get a feel for when the most of us might be free.

Then we can ask the repeater owner/radio club to allow us to conduct a short formal net at set times.

We could also perhaps get a frequency plan set up for folks here. (If emergency arises, go to: ____ repeater, _____ freq simplex, ___ Channel GMRS (cobra/motorola/etc radios), or ___channel CB)

If we have a lot of folks in a certain area, we will probably have to break up the regions of colorado in separate groups. (Eastern/Western Colorado, etc)

Just a thought. This would be a valuable skill to practice for the folks who have recently gotten their ticket and have not actually talked much.
