CARP and Fresno ARES Provide Comms at Fresno March of Dimes Event

Saturday April 19 was the Fresno March of Dimes – March for Babies 2008. For many years the Clovis Amateur Radio Pioneers has been providing radio communications for the event. Amateur Radio personnel manned checkpoints along the route to facilitate communications back to base on supply, event status and health needs.

This year’s event went off without a hitch even with the change of the route. With Woodward Park switching to two-way traffic, the event could no longer be run on the surface roads of the park. This caused the event coordinators to redraw the course route to run from the Group Activites Area out the Eaton Trail to Old Friant Road and back for a round trip of 5 miles. There were a couple of minor injuries responded to by Amateur Radio and Sheriff’s Search and Rescue with no reported major incidences.

NI6M-2 APRS Digipeater on the air

On Saturday May 3, 2008 David Dansby NI6M and Rob Mavis AE6GE installed an APRS Digipeater at the CARP Mile High repeater site. The Digipeater is operating on the APRS primary Frequency of 144.390 under the callsign NI6M-2. The digipeater consists of an Alinco DR-1200T data radio, and a MFJ 1270C TNC modified to use the latest UIdigi Firmware (1.9B3).

The sites commanding view will allow us to fill the gap in APRS digipeater coverage of the Central valley. This also gives us a future path to install a weather station at the site which can then be accessed from the APRS network as well as the internet.
