Caveats:
I've included the 25mi radius from the Engineer Mtn repeater, but coverage will be VERY spotty at that range.
The 5mi coverage (red) and 10mi coverage (yellow) for the repeaters will, obviously, depend on radio, antenna, and exact location. This map is to give us a general idea of what we should expect.
I'm quite sure that with a good mobile/base station in Ouray and (hopefully) 1 HAM per group, we will be able to have good comm back to base pretty much all the time.
For location reporting, I've attempted to contact "The Spot" (
Home - SPOT Satellite Messenger) to sponsor the event, without luck. Maybe Jason or someone else on the committee could contact them. They're 'check-in' feature could be AWESOME for this type of event.
