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 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_'Bridge' or visit the 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!

Gear
Let's coordinate what we're bringing. Stations, Accessories and bits and bobs.
We'll need lots of feeder cable!

HF
Please list below any HF Hardware you are bringing and what you'd like to try and use it for. I (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?
How are we going to distribute those electrons to our hardware to be converted to photons?
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.
| Name | Callsign | Device | 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.
| Channel | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DH1 | 438.5875 | |
| DH2 | 438.6000 | |
| DH3 | 438.6125 | Calling Channel |
| DH4 | 438.6250 | |
| DH5 | 438.6375 | |
| DH6 | 438.6500 |
I propose we maintain a list of users and DMR IDs and produce an EMF Code Plug closer to the time. This will enable users to private calls on site:
| Name | Call Sign | DMR ID |
|---|---|---|
| Marrold | 2E0SIP | 2343265 |
| Paul | M0TZO | 2342395 |
| Paul (plett) | M0PLL | 2352237 |
| Jon | M0NGY | 2352198
2352256 |
| Dominic | M0DLX | 2352238 |
