It might be appropriate to add a timeline so volunteers are able to check
their schedules.

On Monday May 16, 2011 FEMA will be conducting a drill involving many of the
states to our east. The drill titled National Level Exercise 2011. NLE 2011,
will simulate the catastrophic nature of a major earthquake in the central
United States region of the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ).

One element of this drill is a total communication failure.

If you are tuning around 3987.5 KHz at night and 7060 KHz on Monday you may
hear traffic from stations working with various State, County, and local
emergency management offices. There will also be traffic from other served
agencies through out the region.

The State of Oklahoma is not involved with this drill. 

However.  We have a request from the Arkansas dept of health and a organ
donation and dialysis center here in Oklahoma know as "ESRD Network 13" to
assist with some communication.

** On Monday we need volunteers in the OKC area to help. We need two
operators in the OKC area to assist sending a few messages to and from
Arkansas. 

Keeping it simple, one operator would be respond to the served agency in
OKC (and then would operate from your car with a good mobile rig). The 
second operator would operate from the comfort of your home station - 
provided you monitor local repeater or reach the mobile station via 
simplex and then in turn pass the message via HF to Arkansas.  

This should only take a few hours and I should have final details soon.

In the mean time, if you are in the OKC area and can help on Monday...

PLEASE contact me today.
