Well all of my stuff is modern including digital from 160 to 440megs our ARC repeater is digital and has enough battery backup to run until ether the propane generator starts or I get up the Mt. with the small one. We have an active RACES group that meets every week and a base of about 35 active members. I have a repeater here at the house on our repeater freq that I can put on the air in about 15 min. with a high gain antenna all though I live in a different state it covers just about the same area. My batteries are charged with 9 140 watt solar panels I can power a 15KW generator with my diesel generator from a 500 gallon tank. My campers antenna system gives me 80 meters to 440 megs. and it's batteries are solar charged. We are also linked into the National Weather Service in Gray Maine. So yeah I think we are all set.
