The Greek Amateur Radio Networks Society (GARNS) has once again demonstrated its commitment to enhancing communication capabilities within the amateur radio community. In response to recent seismic activity around the island of Santorini, GARNS has swiftly established a reliable communication channel connecting Athens, the central Aegean, and the Dodecanese regions. This initiative addresses a longstanding need for a comprehensive relay system in these areas. The newly implemented system features an analog UHF voice repeater in Athens, operating on 438.7375 MHz with a CTCSS of 94.8 Hz. This repeater is interconnected with the VHF analog voice repeater R-1, located in Naxos, transmitting on 145.575 MHz The newly implemented network consists of: A UHF analog voice repeater (SW10) in Athens (438.7375 MHz, CTCSS 94.8 Hz) An interconnected VHF analog voice repeater (SW8K) in Naxos (145.575 MHz, CTCSS 107.2 Hz) A relay station on Mount Atavyros in Rhodes (430.350 MHz, CTCSS 77.0 Hz) This system bridges a crucial communication gap, enabling seamless information flow between these regions. During emergencies such as earthquakes, reliable communications are often the difference between life and death. This initiative ensures that first responders, civil protection teams, and amateur radio operators can stay connected when it matters. This is amateur radio at its best”serving communities, advancing technology, and making a real impact. For more info: https://eradik.org/archives/2053
