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.

== Communications ==

=== EMF Hub - an Amateur Radio 'Bridge' ===

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.

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.

For more information see [[EMF_Hub_-_Amateur_Radio_%27Bridge%27]] or visit the [http://hub.emfhams.org/ EMF Hub Webpage]

'''We are looking for volunteers familiar with web design and programming to create some 'cool stuff'. Get in touch! '''

=== Scheduled Sessions ===

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.

We should bring a whiteboard or poster to say when they're happening and what it's on!

Let's coordinate what we're bringing. Stations, Accessories and bits and bobs.

We'll need lots of feeder cable!

==== V/UHF ====

Do we want a dedicated base station doing V/UHF Voice?

Please list below any HF Hardware you are bringing and what you'd like to try and use it for.
I ([[User:Hibby|Hibby]]) have listed out some essentials and left the ones I can't provide blank so we know it's not currently coming.
Please fill in the blanks!

===== Voice =====

Does this need to be a separate station from the HF Data station? Shall we schedule timeshare between the two?

==== Power ====

How are we going to get power from the Datenklo to our camp?
Jon (M0NGY) will bring a 30m extension reel and as many 4/6 ways as can be shovelled into the car.

How are we going to distribute those electrons to our hardware to be converted to photons?
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!''

=== Bringing your own hotspot or gateway ===

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.

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.

Power/Electric Vehicles

2018-08-01T12:55:41Z

Filbert:

EV charging is frequently requested, and we plan to provide a dedicated parking area for this at EMF2018.

Please note that your vehicles will be charged from our (modern, clean) diesel generators - there is still no other economical way of providing power at events such EMF. Our present plans involve providing power either on standard 16A IEC309 ('caravan'/'commando'/'ceeform') connectors or on UK 13A sockets. We need more information and feedback on what works for EV owners, e.g. what cables/connectors do you have.

Note that this form is only for vehicles parked in the car parks - campervans and caravans tickets include a power hookup (16A IEC309).

If you would like to charge your EV at EMF, please fill in your details below.

Covered/waterproof 13A sockets on the end of heavy-duty cable (to mitigate load concerns), would be best!
