> The purpose of this is to reinforce how important it is to know your range

> Here is the protocol for the test:
> 
> -          At 8:00pm begin listening on 146.52. If you do not hear me,
> announce your call and that you are listening and see if anyone answers.
> Continue for as long as you can reach other people.
> 
> -          Note down who you were able to hear, even if you could not reach
> them. Some people will have more powerful radios, so you will hear them,
> but can’t work them back.
> 
> -          At 8:20pm, come back up to the Norwalk repeater at 146.475 and
> we will discuss our results.
> 
> -          If the weather is nice, you might try being outside at a higher
> altitude if you can find a good place. You can then act as a relay.
> 
> 
> 
> Sorry to the Echolink guys for the simplex stuff, but you can join us at
> 8:20 and see what happened.

> likely there are a ton of people listening, make your contacts short, and
> if anyone else answers, let them know what we are doing and record that
> contact as well).
