[Troop139] Key Amateur Radio Information for the Ramapo Rally - Volunteers Still Needed!

[J.Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Hi Folks!
Several of you have requested a simple list of Amateur Radio frequencies to
be used during the Ramapo Rally tomorrow.

Here they are extracted from the ICS-205.

 

Primary North            146.700          -0.600             141.3

Primary South            146.895          -0.600             151.4

Backup North             146.490          +1.000            107.2

Backup South            145.370          -0.600             151.4

Campgaw Backup    146.835          -0.600             151.4

VHF Simplex             146.550          n/a                   n/a

UHF Simplex (opt)    446.000          n/a                   n/a

 

As a reminder, you need to be at Campgaw Reservation on Campgaw Rd in
Mahwah, NJ about 6:30 AM. 

Park behind the lodge and inform the parking team that you are part of the
"SAG Crew".

Go to the front (hill facing) and find the communications team in the rear
of the plaza area behind the white dining pavilion.

 

You will be sent to the volunteer check-in to sign in and obtain your
t-shirt.

At 7:00 AM we will have a briefing and then you will either pair up with a
SAG driver or head out to your field assignment.

If you are going to be assigned to a SAG  vehicle other than your own, be
prepared to have battery power (I have PowerPoles and batteries to lend.)
and a magnetic mount antenna.

 

Please bring paper, pen, and a reflective safety vest and a GPS, if you have
them.

 

You should also bring any personal beverages, though food and drink will be
provided throughout the day at Campgaw and at rest stops.

 

Again, thank you for volunteering for this event!

 

Thanks & 73,

Gordon Beattie, W2TTT
