[Battlemesh] Battlemesh event in Leipzig and HAM Radio Repeater for travelling nerds

[Saverio Proto]

Hello all,

I am coming to Leipzig to the battlemesh with my Baofeng UV-5R plus.
It is a nice nerd toy that you can buy for very cheap on ebay.

There is anyone else in the battlemesh community that plays with VHF
and UHF repeaters ?

There is this repeater in Leipzig that we can use when we are there:

DB0LE-R 111100 LEIPZIG - 438.7875 MHz
I dont know yet the shift and the tone of the repeater.

It is also Echolink connected, so from Italy if I dial 111100 I get a
audio bridge to that repeater.

In Ninux we found that this HAM radios are very very nice when you are
working on the roofs and you have two teams on two roofs deploying a
point to point link.

At the moment I got a HAM licence to use the amateur frequencies. Do
you know if there is a VHF/UHF open frequency that anyone can use
without licence ? It would be nice to involve everyone in the wireless
community using this tecnology.
I know that 446.000 to 446.100 Mhz is of free use with low power and
mobile station.
I am building a parrot repeater with my Cubieboard and OpenWRT, and I
would like to know if it would be legal in Germany to install it on
the roof of the Sublab for the weekend of the Battlemesh :)

ciao,

Saverio
