Simplex Saturday

GBARC will be holding its first Simplex Saturday this Saturday, April 30th 2022.
Purpose:
1. To test VHF communications readiness in an emergency if our repeaters become unavailable
2. Well, alright, to have a bit of radio fun
Frequency: 146.520 MHz, no tone. Yes, this is the simplex calling frequency. Hopefully other hams monitoring the frequency will check-in. We will QSY if asked to do so.
This will be an informal directed net. NCS will be John VA3KOT who will be operating portable using 50 watts into a 2m omnidirectional collinear antenna.
Short notice? Yes, emergencies tend to happen that way!
Please join us.
