CARES Frequency Agility Test  9 August 2008

 

The drill went good.  The repeaters performed to expectations, including the new Caudill Ranch 25 repeater.  Thirty-one hams participated with 145 total net check-ins on eleven frequencies.  The net quickly moved from frequency to frequency.

 

The only disappointment was that no one chose to test the packet to WL2K gateway.
