For the past 3 years, we have had an open invitation from the Atlanta Radio club to use their repeaters. The information on their systems are on the link below.

There has been some activity, but not a lot.

What would be nice is having a booth, seminar, and maybe finding a VEQ to give license exams.

Also as a reminder: FIRST does not allow any type of two-way radios at any FIRST event.

He reported working from a 707-300 effectively using a screwdriver antenna that extends out the trailing edge of the wing. I received a solid copy from him at S9+ on 14.185MHz.

That'd be an E8 Joint STARS aircraft.
