Subject: [BR BandPlan] New amateur radio resources in Gerlach
Message-ID: <02ADBC8671974522A398A616F93EB664@carbon>

Hi --

Haven't seen much traffic on this list in a while, but I wanted to let 
you know that there are a few new year-round amateur radio resources 
for use on the Playa.  There's a nascent web page here: 
http://cq-blackrock.org/ but the summary is:

+ IRLP Node 3075 [146.7 100.0Hz simplex]
+ IRLP Node 7249 [444.175 (+) 100.0Hz 16w repeater]
+ APRS Digipeater/iGate [144.39]

We were able to do some testing this week with burners on HTs out in 
BRC, but we'd love to see more signal reports in the coming months.  I 
had pretty steady coverage of the repeater in my truck as I travelled 
south on 447 out of Gerlach the other night until about mile marker 50 
(~25+ miles) and was able to kerchunk at rises in the road at 34, 23 
and 11 (!!!).

I tried to update the wiki but the registration page gave me an error.

Enjoy!
