Net heads,
There has been a lot of reference to pilots becoming ham radio operators. There
are a lot of reasonably priced hand held 2 meter rigs with key pads that can
access repeaters with telephone autopatch, that can be carried along on your
plane incase of an emergency. Just like using a cell phone in airplanes may
access more than one repeater, since line of site can cover a lot of territory
up high, but some one listening might hear your call and alert rescue people,
even if they are some distance away. Hams are well know to help in times of
need! Most 2m repeaters are operated by clubs that charge a nominal fee to use
telephone. Tech class I understand can use voice on ten meters. Some additional
back up?
On a different vain, if anyone has an autocad file on the airfoil Mark Langford
helped develope, and can save it as an R14 file and send to me as an attachment
off net. I could print out a reproducable copy and make full size template
drawing for any one who would like to have a copy.
