MRC 2021 Saturday 27 NOV
Calling Channels
- 27MHz CBRS Channel 26 LSB (27.265MHz)
- UHF CBRS Channel 26 FM (477.050MHz)
- Noon, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, 6pm, 8pm.
- 8pm on Friday if you are at your mountain early.
- Monitor the call channels between these times as much as possible.
- Report on air any planned periods away from the radio or station shutdown.
The antenna polarisation for this event is vertical. You can of course work horizontal by arrangement with the stations you contact. The 27MHz band is quieter at night allowing for longer distance direct-wave communications. See if you can work other MRC stations that you had difficulty calling earlier in the day, especially if you are still holding the message or reply or were only able to share it using skip. Let the organisers know on the Zello channel and they can help coordinate.

Zello
The Zello PTT app has proved itself a valuable tool for the MRC. We highly recommend you install it and join the "MRC2021” channel as a method of advising the organisers and other stations of your operational status, and to send and receive reports regarding progress of the MRC message. Zello works quite well even in areas with poor mobile coverage.
