Back for our third EMFCamp, the EMFHams Amateur Radio village will hopefully be bringing along a big mast to talk to the world, a special event callsign, some satellite gear, an APRS digipeater/igate and a voice repeater - all of which will be available for demonstration. Come along and see what we do.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Communications == <br />
<br />
===Special Event Callsigns===<br />
Amateur Radio Village will be operating a special event station: '''GB2EMF'''<br /><br />
NoV Holder is MM0MRU<br />
<br />
===Local Comms===<br />
433.425 NFM / 145.425 NFM ''(If in use by other Amateurs then please try 145.450 / 433.450)''<br />
<br />
=== EMF Hub - an Amateur Radio 'Bridge' ===<br />
<br />
We intend to have an Analogue FM and DMR 'Gateway' on site. These will be bridged together, allowing analogue and DMR users to communicate. The gateways will also be linked to various RF and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_over_IP RoIP] based networks, allowing amateurs around the world to connect the onsite gateways and chat with attendees. <br />
<br />
The system is already live and accepting connections from the various networks, so attendees can get to know each other and start planning for EMF 2018. Please note, the system is still being tested, so there may be the occasional blip.<br />
<br />
For more information see [[EMF_Hub_-_Amateur_Radio_%27Bridge%27]] or visit the [http://hub.emfhams.org/ EMF Hub Webpage]<br />
<br />
'''We are looking for volunteers familiar with web design and programming to create some 'cool stuff'. Get in touch! '''<br />
<br />
=== Unscheduled Activities ===<br />
It is [https://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2018/rnfd.shtml RSGB SSB Field Day] on the Saturday and Sunday. Even if we don't want to try hard, we should submit any contacts that we make so others can score points.<br />
<br />
=== Scheduled Sessions ===<br />
<br />
It would be really great to have a few scheduled sessions per day - maybe 1 an hour from 12-6, covering different aspects of the hobby and demonstrating the hardware, techniques and possibilities.<br />
<br />
We should bring a whiteboard or poster to say when they're happening and what it's on!<br />

==== Power ====<br />
<br />
How are we going to get power from the Datenklo to our camp?<br />
Jon (M0NGY) will bring a 30m extension reel and as many 4/6 ways as can be shovelled into the car.<br />
<br />
How are we going to distribute those electrons to our hardware to be converted to photons?<br />
M0NGY says: ''Most/all of my kit has PowerPole connectors. I will be bringing my PowerPole crimp tool, so if anyone wants to convert their equipment, I suggest buying some PP connectors ahead of time!''<br />
<br />
==== Network ====<br />
<br />
We should have have wired ethernet in the gazebo. There are going to be enough desktops and SIP phones etc which don't do wifi to make it worthwhile.<br />
<br />
Paul M0PLL almost certainly has a spare switch lying around, does anyone have a long reel of cat5e and a bucket of patch leads? EMFCamp NOC is cool with [https://wiki.emfcamp.org/wiki/Network#Can_I_bring_a_switch.3F up to 10 MACs per port] without special arrangements.<br />
<br />
===== SatCom =====<br />
<br />
Are we going to have Satellite communications on site? [We're next door to the AMSAT tent who will be doing it bigger and better than we can. --plett]<br />

=== Bringing your own hotspot or gateway ===<br />
<br />
Since the last EMF Camp, digital and analogue hotspot usage has exploded. We're expecting there will be several on site, so we ''must'' coordinate on Frequencies and Colour Codes to ensure we don't interfere with each other, or even worse, create a network loop.<br />
<br />
If you plan on bringing a hotspot, please add your name and or call sign to the table below so we can coordinate closer to the time. <br />

==== DMR ====<br />
<br />
The established convention in the UK is to use the following frequencies with Colour Code 1, Slot 2 and Talk Group 9 for "general" communications, however it's still possible to make calls to other groups and also private calls.<br />

I propose we maintain a list of users and DMR IDs and produce an EMF Code Plug closer to the time. This will enable users to private calls on site:<br />

==== Power ====<br />
<br />
How are we going to get power from the Datenklo to our camp?<br />
Jon (M0NGY) will bring a 30m extension reel and as many 4/6 ways as can be shovelled into the car.<br />
<br />
How are we going to distribute those electrons to our hardware to be converted to photons?<br />
M0NGY says: ''Most/all of my kit has PowerPole connectors. I will be bringing my PowerPole crimp tool, so if anyone wants to convert their equipment, I suggest buying some PP connectors ahead of time!''<br />
<br />
==== Network ====<br />
<br />
We should have have wired ethernet in the gazebo. There are going to be enough desktops and SIP phones etc which don't do wifi to make it worthwhile.<br />
<br />
Paul M0PLL almost certainly has a spare switch lying around, does anyone have a long reel of cat5e and a bucket of patch leads? EMFCamp NOC is cool with [https://wiki.emfcamp.org/wiki/Network#Can_I_bring_a_switch.3F up to 10 MACs per port] without special arrangements.<br />
<br />
=== Bringing your own hotspot or gateway ===<br />
<br />
Since the last EMF Camp, digital and analogue hotspot usage has exploded. We're expecting there will be several on site, so we ''must'' coordinate on Frequencies and Colour Codes to ensure we don't interfere with each other, or even worse, create a network loop.<br />
<br />
If you plan on bringing a hotspot, please add your name and or call sign to the table below so we can coordinate closer to the time. <br />

==== DMR ====<br />
<br />
The established convention in the UK is to use the following frequencies with Colour Code 1, Slot 2 and Talk Group 9 for "general" communications, however it's still possible to make calls to other groups and also private calls.<br />

I propose we maintain a list of users and DMR IDs and produce an EMF Code Plug closer to the time. This will enable users to private calls on site:<br />

<hr />
<div>The EMF2018 site is [[Location|Eastnor Castle Deer Park]], located just east of Ledbury, Herefordshire. <br />
<br />
== Public transport ==<br />
<br />
=== Train 🚂 ===<br />
We are close to '''Ledbury''' station which is around [https://traintimes.org.uk/londonpaddington/ledbury/ three hours] direct from London Paddington (on [https://www.gwr.com/ GWR]) and [https://traintimes.org.uk/birminghamnewstreet/ledbury/ one hour] from Birmingham New Street (on [https://www.westmidlandsrailway.co.uk/ West Midlands Railway]). <br />
<br />
As of June 18th, tickets from Paddington are currently as cheap as £12 return. If you buy a ticket on the day, the price will be £55-89 return depending on your time of travel.<br />
<br />
Ledbury station to the EMF site is around 5km or 10 mins drive. We will be providing a complimentary shuttle bus service between Ledbury station and the EMF site, starting no later than 11am on Friday 31st and ending no earlier than 1pm on Monday 3rd. Please stay tuned for further details on timings.<br />
<br />
=== Air ✈️ ===<br />
<br />
The closest major airport is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Airport Birmingham ✈(BHX)], which is around [https://traintimes.org.uk/birminghaminternational/ledbury/ 1hr40] by train to Ledbury station; or an hour by road.<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Airport Bristol ✈(BRS)] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiff_Airport Cardiff ✈(CWL)] are around 1hr40 by road, but poorly connected by public transport.<br />
<br />
For those travelling long-haul, BHX is likely to be be most useful followed by LHR.<br />
<br />
== Driving 🚗 ==<br />
<br />
=== Getting here ===<br />
If you plan to drive, you will need to buy a parking ticket (£15) or campervan ticket (£40) available [https://www.emfcamp.org/tickets/other here].<br />
<br />
The site is around 13 mins drive from the M50 Junction 2.<br />
<br />
Plan your travel to the south gate (adjacent to A438) - postcode '''HR8 1RQ''' should get you there. The entrance to the site is '''52°01'56"N 2°23'01"W''' / '''OS Grid SO 738 372'''.<br />
<br />
Once you leave the motorway, follow signs towards Eastnor Castle, ignoring your sat nav which may try to take you through the town.<br />
<br />
