Special Event Station
Paul (M0OKE) has applied for an NoV for a special call sign for a special event station, GB2EMF. The question is whether enough people want to operate to keep the station going for the bulk of the weekend. It's unlikely that anybody wants to spend a significant proportion of their weekend running the special event station.
Talk In
Talk in has been suggested on 2/70 on Friday. Operator(s) required. Assuming 145.550 MHz.
Modes & Bands
Steve M0SPN intends to run Voice, PSK and SSTV on HF. VHF/UHF dependent on availability of masts and beams.
Local Clubs
Milton Keynes ARS (MKARS) are literally just up the road from the campsite
Repeaters
It would be very cool to have a dedicated on-site repeater just for EMF. The practicality wouldn't be too difficult -- M0RND can provide a 2m/70cm colinear (which might be able to be hosted on the main EMF mast), and there's no shortage of radios which can do cross-band repeat, or something could be lashed up with two Baofeng UV-B5 radios and a diplexer.
The awkward part would be getting an NoV for the repeater, and getting it in time for EMF.
Voice
GB3VA http://ukrepeater.net/my_repeater.php?id=997
Digital
Milton Keynes has its own repeaters, too. Coverage to be confirmed, but GB7BP looks promising, but is DIGITAL. So is probably not much use for us.
