[CALV-AUXCOMM] Fwd: 2017 MDC Section SET Update

[Peter Holt]

Shawn,

I plan to be at the KB3TGF site in the Drum Point EOC on Oct 7 morning.  I am working with Dave on this.  We can hit the repeater hopefully with no problem on 2 meters (Mt. Hope).  The only 440 I have in the EOC is an HT that I can hook up to the tower at Drum Point EOC, limited to 5 watts.  Simplex, as I mentioned may be a real problem, however, the tower might reach Prince Frederick on simplex.

I'll keep you posted.

Peter
