Village:Amateur Radio
Amateur Radio operators gathering. All the rig and antennas in one large outdoor shack.
Feel free to join this village, either if you are already a licensed amateur radio user, ever wanted to have a license, or just love electromagnetic waves! Just add the village to your user site. If you want to attach your village to the Amateur Radio Village, feel free to contact Pylon. Especially if you plan to set up antennas in your Village.

The Village
Like in 2011 the Chaoswelle (Amateur Radio group of the CCC) and MetaFunk (Amateur Radio group of the MetaLab) will create a joint village with LeiwandVille. Some more villages with amateur radio in their description will be grouped next to the village. These are Village:Scottish Consulate, Village:Lemanicus, Village:Synthesizers, and Village:EMF.
During 30C3 and 31C3 we had a space where we could present several topics about amateur radio as a lecture or workshop. There was a large interest, so that we will order a 54sqm tent for the Camp for our self organized sessions. If you want to present your pet project in our shared hobby, just add it yourself on the top of the page (“create self-organized session”).
Furthermore we will set up a lot of amateur radio equipment. Some excerpt:
Shelter
- former Berlin Police car refitted for amateur radio operation (preview at http://www.dl8ro.de/galerie/picture-0031.jpg)
truck from Austria for transceivers etc.This will rather be a trailer.- Campervan from DK0TU with antennas mounted
- small pavilion tent against sun or rain with some Festzeltgarnituren
hopefully another tent as workshop area with tinkering and measurement equipment- improvisation with some tarps
Antennas
- 2x 20m poles for long wires (might be 15m only, but anyways)
- a Yagi antenna
- dish for satellite communication and Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) bounce
- several 6m to 12m poles with various antennas for various bands
- Delta-Loop for 80m
- a couple of smaller antennas for higher frequencies
TRX
- 1000W amplifier (750W usable)
- HF transceivers
- SSB equipment
- CW equipment
- Digimode equipment for quite all modes
Frequencies in use on-site
- FM Simplex 433.6250 MHz,
CTCSS 123.0 Hz- ISM is sufficiently quiet on site, so we decided to drop CTCSS for increased interoperability and optimal confusion
- Traditional CCC/D23 QRG
- Also known as LPD/SRD 23.
- FM Repeater 439.300 MHz, TX -7.6MHz
- DMR Simplex 433.6625 MHz, CC 1, Slot 1, Target: AllCall
- Also known as DMR 5 in DL. You might already have it programmed in your TRX.
- It is advisable to configure RX-Groups 1, 9, 99 in order to catch the AllCall agnostics.
- Also, make sure you disable "Dual Capacity Direct Mode" aka "TDMA Direct Mode" in order to maximize compatibility.
