Marrold: /* Offering Lifts */

The EMF2018 site is [[Location|Eastnor Castle Deer Park]], located just east of Ledbury, Herefordshire.

== Public transport ==

=== Train 🚂 ===
We are close to '''Ledbury''' station which is around [https://traintimes.org.uk/londonpaddington/ledbury/ three hours] direct from London Paddington (on [https://www.gwr.com/ GWR]) and [https://traintimes.org.uk/birminghamnewstreet/ledbury/ one hour] from Birmingham New Street (on [https://www.westmidlandsrailway.co.uk/ West Midlands Railway]).

As of June 18th, tickets from Paddington are currently as cheap as £12 return. If you buy a ticket on the day, the price will be £55-89 return depending on your time of travel.

Ledbury station to the EMF site is around 5km or 10 mins drive. We will be providing a complimentary shuttle bus service between Ledbury station and the EMF site, starting no later than 11am on Friday 31st and ending no earlier than 1pm on Monday 3rd. Please stay tuned for further details on timings.

=== Air ✈️ ===

The closest major airport is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Airport Birmingham ✈(BHX)], which is around [https://traintimes.org.uk/birminghaminternational/ledbury/ 1hr40] by train to Ledbury station; or an hour by road.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Airport Bristol ✈(BRS)] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiff_Airport Cardiff ✈(CWL)] are around 1hr40 by road, but poorly connected by public transport.

For those travelling long-haul, BHX is likely to be be most useful followed by LHR.

== Driving 🚗 ==

=== Getting here ===
If you plan to drive, you will need to buy a parking ticket (£15) or campervan ticket (£40) available [https://www.emfcamp.org/tickets/other here]. Motorcycles do not require a parking ticket.

The site is around 13 mins drive from the M50 Junction 2.

Plan your travel to the south gate (adjacent to A438) - postcode '''HR8 1RQ''' should get you there. The entrance to the site is '''52°01'56"N 2°23'01"W''' / '''OS Grid SO 738 372'''.

Once you leave the motorway, follow the yellow AA signs to EMF, ignoring your sat nav which may try to take you through the town.

Coming with an [[Power/Electric_Vehicles|⚡️ electric vehicle?]] Please add yourself to the [[Power/Electric_Vehicles| EV charging page.]]

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!

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?

=== 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.

! Intended Modes
! Access Control Support
|-
| Marrold
| 2E0SIP
| Libre ZUMspot
| DMR
| Yes
|}

=== Simplex ===

==== DMR ====

The established convention in the UK is to use the following frequencies with Colour Code 1, Slot 2 and Talk Group 9 for "general" communications, however it's still possible to make calls to other groups and also private calls.

{| class="wikitable"

=== 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.

==== DMR ====

The established convention in the UK is to use the following frequencies with Colour Code 1, Slot 2 and Talk Group 9 for "general" communications, however it's still possible to make calls to other groups and also private calls.

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!

For more information visit the [http://hub.emfhams.org EMF Hub Webpage]

==Connecting the EMF Hub Remotely==

===Currently Supported===

You can connect to the EMF Hub using several methods listed below. If you'd like to connect via a different method, please let us know.

As the system is linked to other RF based systems, an Amateur Radio License is required to transmit on the system.

Note: Whilst we are in the testing phase, connection methods are subject to change!

====Echolink====

Echolink is a well established Radio over IP (RoIP) system for linking RF repeaters and gateways to the Echolink software applications, available on most operating systems.

To connect via Echolink, connect to Node 2E0SIP-L (986046)

====AllStar====

AllStar is another RoIP system based on open source software, making it more flexible and 'hackable' compared to Echolink. The primary controller runs on AllStar.

To connect to the AllStar hub, connect to Node 47920.

====DMR (Brandmeister)====

DMR is a popular digital mode, and Brandmeister provide a global network that encourages cross linking and experimentation.

To connect via DMR, key up on TG 27273 via the Brandmiester Network.

Many thanks to Brandmeister Ireland for facilitating this connection.

====International Radio Network (IRN)====

IRN is another RoIP network based on the TeamSpeak application availble for most operating systems. Whilst IRN has no native RF support, its often linked to RF systems.

To connect via IRN, join the 'EMF Hub' room.

====Online (Receive Only)====

You can listen to the EMF Hub online [http://emfhub.blogspot.co.uk/p/listen-to-emf-hub.html Here]. It's currently Rx only.

====SIP====

If you'd like to connect via SIP, let us know and we will setup the connection.

===Potentially Supported===

====Fusion (YSF)====

YSF is a reflector system for MMDVM powered repeaters and hotspots. Creating a reflector is trivial and there's no costs involved, but so far there's no demand. If you want a YSF reflector, let me know and I will get it added.

====Fusion (Wires X)====

Wires X is the proprietary network provided by Yaesu for Fusion radios. Due to its closed nature, the only way to bridge from the Hub to Wires X is via FM into a Yaesu rig with Fusion support. If you're desperate to use Wires X and would like to host the link, please get in touch.

====D-Star====

Adding D-Star support will require approximately £200-300 in additional hardware in order to transcode the codecs involved. If you want to purchase and host the required hardware, please get in touch.

====Other====

If there's another mode or service you'd like supported, please get in touch.

Wires X is the proprietary network provided by Yaesu for Fusion radios. Due to its closed nature, the only way to bridge from the Hub to Wires X is via FM into a Yaesu rig with Fusion support. If you're desperate to use Wires X and would like to host the link, please get in touch.

====D-Star====

Adding D-Star support will require approximately £200-300 in additional hardware in order to transcode the codecs involved. If you want to purchase and host the required hardware, please get in touch.

====Other====

If there's another mode or service you'd like supported, please get in touch.

EMF Hub - Amateur Radio 'Bridge'

2018-04-12T23:20:17Z

Marrold: /* Online (Receive Only) */

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 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 visit the [http://hub.emfhams.org EMF Hub Webpage]

==Connecting the EMF Hub Remotely==

===Currently Supported===

You can connect to the EMF Hub using several methods listed below. If you'd like to connect via a different method, please let us know.

Note: Whilst we are in the testing phase, connection methods are subject to change!

====Echolink====

Echolink is a well established Radio over IP (RoIP) system for linking RF repeaters and gateways to the Echolink software applications, available on most operating systems.

To connect via Echolink, connect to Node 2E0SIP-L (986046)

====AllStar====

AllStar is another RoIP system based on open source software, making it more flexible and 'hackable' compared to Echolink. The primary controller runs on AllStar.

To connect to the AllStar hub, connect to Node 47920.

====DMR (Brandmeister)====

DMR is a popular digital mode, and Brandmeister provide a global network that encourages cross linking and experimentation.

To connect via DMR, key up on TG 2773 via the Brandmiester Network.

Many thanks to Brandmeister Ireland for facilitating this connection.

====International Radio Network (IRN)====

IRN is another RoIP network based on the TeamSpeak application availble for most operating systems. Whilst IRN has no native RF support, its often linked to RF systems.

To connect via IRN, join the 'EMF Hub' room

====Online (Receive Only)====

You can listen to the EMF Hub online [http://emfhub.blogspot.co.uk/p/listen-to-emf-hub.html Here]. It's currently Rx only.

====SIP====

If you'd like to connect via SIP, let us know and we will setup the connection.

===Potentially Supported===

====Fusion (YSF)====

YSF is a reflector system for MMDVM powered repeaters and hotspots. Creating a reflector is trivial and there's no costs involved, but so far there's no demand. If you want a YSF reflector, let me know and I will get it added.
