This communication exercise was A LOT of fun, and I learned a ton. It took us 12 hours, 3 attempts and 3 iterations through our place plan, but ultimately JS8 saved the day. It was roughly 1500 miles, using the RF-1944 military antenna.
This was attempted from Land Between the Lakes, a part and campground here in Kentucky.
Look out for the AAR later this week where we talked about the behind the scenes, and everything we learned.
If anyone would like a copy of the communication plan, you can find it over at themodernham.com/downloads
Shout out to Gaston, TheTechPrepper for motivating me to get out there and try this out. If you haven't tried to communicate off grid with a specific individual, now is the time to practice. You will run into issues you would have never though of.
