AmRRON Presentation: September 10th, 2019, Houston Healthcare, Training Room (basement main hospital)
Using a raspberry pi to send ham radio transmissions using multiple digital formats at once on low power across the united states to other users. Being an all 12 volt system this can be used for off grid communications. Using solar and battery backup as our power.
The presenter is Devon Harris Retired Army. Currently at Fort Gordon near Augusta Georgia.
Devon along with other military intelligence officers and programmers came up with this system of getting traffic thru when other things may fail.
AmRRON The American Redoubt Radio operators Network is a network of Preppers, Patriots and Redoubters who have volunteered to keep each other connected when other means of communications are unavailable or unreliable. AmRRON operators participate in scheduled nets to practice using non-conventional communications.

Middle Georgia Data Network
It’s QSO party time!! Here are the upcoming QSO Parties in the
Southeastern Division. Checkout each website for complete information.
The MGDN is an amateur radio based data network, it is not an amateur radio club or association such as MGRA or CGARC. However, both clubs have members who support and participate in the networks. And the networks are discussed at both club meetings.
MGDN simply provides a place to coordinate Packet Network and D-RATS network operations and advancement; and to show current network status and mapping. MGDN does not operate any repeaters, only packet nodes and mail drops and D-RATS stations.

State Weather Page From NWS Peachtree City
This originally came from requests from GEMA for forecast graphics that were not Forecast Office centric and instead represented the entire state. Many have helped with this project but wanted to single out a few. Jessica Fieux who has moved onto WFO Tallahassee helped with much of the original layout and thumbnail graphics to get this going. More recently, Lauren Reaves who is one of our fine forecasters here has helped develop much of the content and how it appears on the page as well as great work on the Briefings and Social Media tabbed content. And of course, our wonderful ITO Steve Listemaa helped immensely in developing the automated graphics to feed the page. Hope it helps for some of your decision making and please let us know any additional requested content. Thanks,
Jason Deese and Lauren Reaves, NWS

GAARES MISSION
A primary responsibility of the Amateur Radio Service, as established by Part 97 of the Federal Communications Commission's regulations, is the performance of public service communications for the general public, particularly in times of emergency when normal communications are not available. To that end, the Georgia Section Amateur Radio Emergency Service members, under the oversight of the American Radio Relay League, will equip themselves and train to provide communications as a direct service to the general public through government and relief agencies located in Georgia, local government jurisdictions, the State of Georgia, and Federal Agencies when requested by those agencies.
