[GVARC] Ham Radio Assisted Humanitarian to XE

[Pat Barthelow]

Folks,


The Marina Rotary Club does periodic humanitarian aid missions to Mexico, on 
the Remote Baja Peninsula.  A team of Rotarians and Doctors travel by Van to 
Baja, and donate medical services, to locals.  The next trip is around 
Memorial Day, and will last about 7 days.  There will be a space available 
for a Ham radio operator on the crew.  N6IJ (Marina Amateur Radio Contest 
Station) is putting together an I-link System, teaming with the Mexican Hams 
of Baja area (Ensenada) to implement a  remote hand-held communications 
capability from Baja Peninsula, directly to a hospital on the Monterey 
Peninsula, via (probably) the WA6HHQ 440 repeater.  Other repeater routes 
may be explored.  I (AA6EG)may go, depending on my work schedule, but if 
not, I am looking for someone interested in an ALL EXPENSE PAID, week long,  
trip to Baja, Mexico around Memorial Day.  You should be, or become familiar 
with I-link communications.  We may also bring PSK 31 HF systems to test.  
If you are interested in going to Mexico, and working on this Ham radio 
communications exercise, contact me ASAP.  Operators on this end of the link 
are also needed.

Pat, AA6EG
