A 102 mile ride that goes up above I-84 to
Brookfield, Roxbury, and Southbury.  It’s a real technical challenge to
provide comms along the route – coverage last year involved two nets and a
temporary repeater.  This year we’re looking at adding DMR into the mix.

Prior experience is NOT necessary.  We’ll give you whatever training you
need and where possible pair you up with a more experienced operator.  What
is needed is a 25 or 50 watt mobile unit, a mag mount antenna that you can
mount on an event vehicle, and a cigarette lighter adapter (or big battery
figure 8 or 12 Ah)*.  If you don’t have those, we usually have spares that
we can lend.
