RRC Simplex Test
Every Month (Usually), we will hold what we call a Simplex Test. We hold it the Saturday right after the general meeting (Usually the Saturday following the 2nd Friday).
It's held on 146.55 at 1 pm.
The purpose is to test our equipment and see how far we can reach without the repeater.
Each month the Net Control operates from a different location. Sometimes, there are even different net controls.
After the net, operators are invited to contact each other so they can achieve their Pagoda Award (See The Pagoda Award under the Activities Tab).
Any licensed Operator is welcome to check in.
We start with a roll call and then call for anyone not on the roll call list.
This not only helps the net control know who can and can't hear him and who he can/can't hear but also those opeators participating get an idea of how far their setup is reaching both listening and transmitting.
Grab your handheld, mobile, or base unit and check in.
Be sure to stick around after the Simplex Test to try and make contacts for your Pagoda Award.
Mark Abramowicz, NT3V is in charge of the monthly Simplex Test.
