Re: [Swlfest] RIP Michael Pool

It is with great sadness that I read this. Michael will be missed, both as a friend and a part of the fest community. May he find peace. -- -Rob de Santos, K8RKD -Original Message- From: Swlfest On Behalf Of Richard Cuff Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2019 11:11 PM To: Discussion list

Re: [Swlfest] RIP Michael Pool

This is so sad. Only two weeks ago I exchanged emails with Michael and offered to drive him to the SWLfest and back home every day (if he wasn't staying at the hotel) because I knew he was unwell. He said he certainly hoped to go, but that his health was varying wildly. Michael really

Re: [Swlfest] Ham Frequency For Fest Comms

Yes, definitely not 2M FM. But those hotel business frequencies might be interesting and potentially useful to monitor. I'd be surprised if no SWLfester hasn't mapped them out. If anyone has, please post them here. Thanks! -Ed At 02:43 PM 2/17/2019, Richard Cuff wrote: Not 2-meter

    It worked out well last year so I am proposing the same for this year's Fest. Those of us who attend who are radio amateurs should use the simplex frequency of 146.535MHZ for communications in and around the Fest. The two meter band is the most popular VHF band and equipment for the
