First batch of 39c3 pagers populated with small components and in the reflow oven

ChaosPager: Try out our pager infrastructure!

Do you like pagers? Are you interested in how to design a critical infrastructure or would you like to get to know such systems at 39C3? Looking for an easy way to get started in the world of amateur radio?

We at assembly Signalspielplatz, in cooperation with CERT and the radio group DL0TUH, are developing and operating a pager infrastructure that is to be used for alerting CERT operatives in the future. To test this infrastructure, we would appreciate it if you could send us lots of test messages!
