Great map Shane, it looks like we should have very good coverage. All of those repeaters are linked too? That's awesome. I guess we should post a thread asking for people who are HAMS to post their runs times, and days info this way we will know which runs will have HAMs and which runs don't.

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.
