The Kentuckiana Digital Experimenters Group

Mission Statement

We focus on Digital Communication using Ham frequencies for local emergency communication purposes with a focus but not limited to VHF/UHF, as well as for fun in learning, sharing ideas, installing and operating the equipment and fellowship.

The primary goal of this group is to deploy a "high speed" packet radio network within Kentucky. We're not limiting ourselves to any one band or technology to do so. We are planning to start biulding this network with a TARPN style packet network in the Northern Hardin County area but hope that it will spread much beyond this area.

Who we are

A group of amatuers with diverse backgrounds looking for exciting oppertunities to further ham radio digital data in the region in and around but not limited to Northern Kentucky
