Line 88: Line 88:
The strength of communication will vary from exercise to exercise and operator to operator based on factors like location, elevation, available transmission power and sensitivity and selectivity of receivers. Note that there are many combinations of these factors in a region including a subnet controller who may be in a different location and team AROs in varying locations depending on who is available and the nature of the exercise or deployment.  This unpredictability of simplex communication means that you and the other operators must be ready to ask for and provide relays.  There are at least two cases to consider -- stations you cannot hear and stations that cannot hear you.
