Pinal Peak ARA Work Project
This ongoing ARA project involves our amateur radio group.
We have a digital network node on Pinal Peak. This digipeater
is part of a large packet radio network of radios and radio links around
the state and throughout the country. We have links on both Pinal
Peak and Mt Elden.
We have participated in several work days on the mountain
to help assist the ARA group in this project.
