Have you ever wondered how to get involved in rally racing as a Net Control? This video highlights get set-up at such events. I'll cover the setup and importance of a robust ham radio net for seamless radio communication and swift emergency response during the Rocky Mountain Rally.
Just remember: Keep it SIMPLE, REDUNDANT and AVAILABLE!
Gear shown:
2x Yaesu FT-8900R (dual-band, cross-band)
1x Powerwerx SS30 power supply
Dakota Lithium 20Ah battery "just in case"
APC Power brick with USB ports
Behringer headphone amp, one channel modified with LM386 output for 2W
200' RG-400 feedline
Lee Valley Tools neodymium magnetic hooks
Dollar store carabiners
Apple MacBook Air
HP External USB-C monitor
3M Painter's tape
Larsen NMO Magnetic Mount
Flagpole-to-go 28' fibreglass push-up mast
AND stuff can go very wrong, as seen in this video youtu.be/wFGjldVWZ7k?t=1255
BE READY FOR ANYTHING - that's RallySport!
