[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Fw: Fwd: 03 MAR 2025 Federal NSSE Spectrum Deconfliction RF WARS Request for Amateur Radio Volunteers

[Joe K]

Hey folks, was forwarded this from our associates in DC, I’ll be working with them to find out what they need from us, if anything. I guess I’m not on DC interoperability programs email roster, I’ll be working to get that rectified.

> I am presuming that this event on the 3rd is in preparation for the Joint Address on the 4th. While the Alexandria EOC is not planning to activate for the 4th, the members of the Alexandria Radio Club (ARC), operating from home, can / will support whatever action is required for 3 and 4 March. This might be a good opportunity to use both K4US repeater on the Masonic Temple (which was used for inauguration) and the W4HFH repeater near 395 @ Rt 7 to insure full performance from both sites.
> As we would not be functioning in direct support of the Alexandria EOC, 205/205As are probably not required from us for the 4th. We would be in a listen & respond mode, similar to the protocol used for the inauguration and initiating no traffic from our end.
