We would like<br />as many people as possible to check in to a net we will be running through<br />this repeater while it is airborne. The procedure will be similar to<br />working stations cross-band on satellite. If you've never worked<br />satellites before, this might be a good opportunity for you to learn<br />something about how it is done - DON'T BE SHY!<br /><br />The UPLINK (your TX) frequency is: 446.450 MHz<br />The DOWNLINK (your RX) frequency is: 146.450 MHz<br /><br /><strong>Date:</strong> Saturday, March 8, 2008 (weather permitting)<br /> <strong>Time:</strong> 10:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. (or thereabouts)<br /> <strong>Location:</strong> Rolla, MO and environs<br /><br />The web page with details is at:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.batee.com/balloon/crossband/" target="_blank">http://www.batee.com/balloon<wbr>/crossband/</a>JMonoreply@blogger.com
