As you will all recall we had a Group test on 230192018 to map the direct VHF communication links between OM's QTH.
That was a successful attempt and now we have a better picture about the reachability of VHF stations directly without using any infrastructure based relay system.
At the same time we have identified difficult to reach areas and areas where we do not have VHF stations.Together we are working on solutions to address these issues.
Maps of the direct links mapped so far can be seen and downloaded from the link

The Saturday meeting on 21101028 at Flic-En-Flac was also a success with the following attending
DM,BAL,BAN,BAM,FO,FP,BAK and few other guests
We had a demo of a simple VHF repeater which can easily be installed at one's QTH.
We also had a fruitful discussion about the VHF tests carried out on 23092018 and the way forward.
Succulent Briyani home made by BAN was served and others present shared their goodies.
One incident worth noting and worth remembering is the manifestation of team spirit that exists within AREG group .
FO had a car breakdown due to battery charger malfunctioning and everybody helped to push the car to make it start.At one point the battery had to be replaced and BAL provided his spare battery to do so with everyone giving a helpful hand.
FO thanks everybody for this fraternal gesture.
