[d-star] All-Digital Public Service Event - Red/White/Boom 1/2 Marathon July 4 Minneapolis

[Erik Westgard]

It would be cool to leverage U of M- that gives us 4 machines- of course .85
is the back up 

Battery life is a point of pressure- this is a good time to try our external
supplies etc.

It may be worth checking on the U of M D-Star system as well which has
pretty good coverage except due east because of the Downtown Minneapolis
shadow. It's W0YC B - 443.425. As a side note it's not Internet linked right
now because I don't have time to setup and administer the software but if
someone else were willing to do so please feel free to contact me.
