Come join us on June 25th & 26th at the Kalamazoo County Fairgrounds, We’ll be at the West Lake Campground sites within the fairgrounds. Enter off of Lamont Ave, take the first open gate on the left into the camping area, follow signage.
Phone and Digital stations are planned with both HF and VHF operations available to cover all license classes. For new hams it’s a great opportunity to get hands on and learn how to setup a station, experience HF contesting, and get on the air with mentorship.
Station and Antenna Setup will begin at 9am, contest operations kick off at 2pm (18:00 UTC) and will run through 2pm Sunday. Talk-in will be hosted on the KM8CC DMR repeater located across from the fairgrounds : 443.400 MHz, +5 input, CC1, TS1, TG9.
The KM8CC repeater is directly adjacent to the field day location. Feel free to use this for operations and/or talk in.
Downlink: 443.400 MHz
Uplink: 448.400 MHz
Color Code: 01
Call: KM8CC
DMR ID: 310797
I would recommend the special event talkgroup (TS1 TG9) which is local only traffic.
Thanks for the offer Dustin, let’s do that! I’ll get that information added to the newsletter.
