I don't have an HT, just a 2m/70cm rig at home (home is about 25 miles NW of Manhattan). I won't be there for most of DebCamp, so if there's a good city repeater frequency you know I'll try to see if my signal will make it. It should; I've had conversations over repeaters quite a bit further east in Long Island.
Not having been to NYC yet, I don't know for sure, but I have made a list of candidates I may try.
* KC2RA 146.430 +1MHz, 136.5 PL * WB2ZSE 147.000- 123.0PL + also 147.150- 136.5PL (upper manhattan) (might be 123.0PL instead) * W2ABC 147.270+ 141.3PL* http://www.hamrepeater.net/kq2h/ - K2QH linked system. Manhattan at 449.225- 82.5PL.
* LIMARC 146.85- 136.5PL Maybe you have suggestions too.
But yeah, I think amateur radio and GNU/Linux have a spirit in common.
Absolutely. I believe the first Debian derivative distro, in fact, was Bruce's Linux for Hams.
