Radio Plans

Due to the PAVE PAWS intereference issue, 440 will no longer be the primary communication channel. The 2 meter repeaters will be primary and secondary. The 440 will be available if there is high priority or emergency traffic. In addition, there may be a 2m simplex remote available for infill coverage, and we may also be continuing our 900 MHz experiments from this year's DC.

APRS

APRS operations will take place on the YARS special event APRS system, not the national APRS channel due to congestion and coverage issues. Any ops that still use RELAY, WIDE or WIDE2-2 should switch their paths to WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1.

Roster

This is the roster and shifts as the positions are being filled.
Due to the high number of returning ops, an (*) will denote those that have confirmed for this year.

SAG numbers are not necessarilty sequential. Because most SAG drivers work both the Foxy's Fall and the Davis Double Century, SAG numbers are kept the same for both events for simplicity.
