Raytheon Company-Wide Over-The-Air Event

Steve Castle N7FUL Coordinator

In order to demonstrate our Emergency Communications Capabilities between the Raytheon Sites, an Over-The-Air (OTA) event is conducted quarterly.  In this pre-coordinated event, the Tucson station, W7SA acts as the Net Control Station, and operates on multiple HF bands in both Phone (SSB) and digital Modes (Olivia for example).  While the net is intended to contact other Raytheon sites, all stations heard from our CQ are logged and welcomed.  In addition we operate the local Tucson area VHF and UHF repeaters and our Echolink station during the event.  (Echolink was down for the 9/22 event)  The final event for 2023 was:
