The pre-ride meeting will be held at the Parking Lot behind City Hall, at the corner of
Russell Blvd. and B Streets. Directions to City Hall can be found
HERE. We will be meeting at
the west end of the parking lot, closest to A Street.
Talk-in on 144.430 simplex. SAG boxes, info packets (shirts, maps, freq plan), 900 radios, and aprs trackers should be available. Any op not able to make it can make other arrangements or pick up their stuff at Net Control on event day.
Course and rest stop locations are the same as last year.
The radio plan will be similar to last year's, with 2m and 900 MHz being used.
Net Control will be geared towards having enough ops to handle simultaneously 2-4 channels, minimizing the time needed for field units to get a response.
APRS will be used again this year. A separate packet frequency with special event digipeaters located on the course and in the plane will be used. We do not use the national 144.390 frequency due to coverage and congestion issues. Net Control will be equipped to track APRS equipped units.
This is the roster and shifts as the positions are being filled.
Due to the high number of returning ops, an (*) will denote those that have
confirmed for this year.
