[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] DC MARP Net / "RF Wars"

[Joe K]

Okay cool, that kinda makes sense based on what they said, I mean it would be pretty low effort to keep a 205 filled out on standby since we know what our freqs are and we don’t do HF or simplex really.

Alex, does this answer your question?

This is a monitor and respond to radio checks drill very similar to inauguration support. In fact, one of the MARP leads from the inauguration event was one of our Division radio operators at the GW Parade. Small world, eh?

There's no Alex EOC activation ergo there are no 205 requirements. This is simply a series of radio checks to ensure that we're connected on both sides. Its only 2M. No DMR, DSTAR or HF. If things were to go south and the EOC was activated, that would be different story altogether. The potential for that to occur in the 30 hrs is pretty slim.
