Notes for next year

  • It is a good idea for at least one person to bring an air compressor and a tire pressure meter; Andy N7SGV needed to reinflate his cargo trailer tires.
  • Remember to bring any cables and adapters you will need.
  • If you have several of something you will need, bring more than one, because one will quit working.
  • It would be helpful to have everyone monitor either the Crown Terrace repeater (146.840 MHz, - offset, 88.5 Hz tone) or a simplex frequency (likely 147.420) for quick communication among members. A simplex frequency may be better because multiple radios close together using a repeater does not always work well.
