Tennessee's 2008 communications trailer was a converted travel
trailer with capabilities for HF, VHF, Red Cross low ban VHF, UHF and VHF business band for command and chainsaw safety operations, a scanner, a weather station, and Winlink over HF. This information comes courtesy of Eddie Martin, WA4DBY. This unit has been retired.
Daniel Holmes AA4DE [SK] sent us this update in 2021:
"There have been lots of changes since the old website was
up; we have built two EmComm trailers and moved our ham shack to the new
Missions Mobilization Center in Mt Juliet.
We use all Kenwood equipment and our ham shack, trailer and
go kit Last year we built a new 20 foot
Comm trailer. There are 2 ham operating
stations and room for the White Hat. We also have room if needed to put 2 cots
in the unit. Our unit call sign is K4TDR. We have also gotten our more experienced
team members SHARES licence.
