Amateur Radio at Stratofox

• The original dozen founders in 2002 were all Hams

• The group is still mostly Hams at 55 members

• Often members who join having other useful skills still choose to get an Amateur Radio license after seeing it in use

• Spotty/no cell coverage areas require a Ham in every vehicle

• All vehicles transmit APRS for a “last known position”

• Rockets and balloons usually transmit APRS

• Backup beacons may require use of radio direction finding
