The NIARA was given a grant of just under $30,000 in support of a project to buy a trailer and outfit it with most all forms of analog and digital communications. This would include a mobile analog/digital repeater, Arden Meesh, and computers with software such as FLDIGI, FLARQ, FLAMP, FLMSG, FLWRAP, N3FJP, WSJT, and Winlink.
