[BARC-List] Annual Winter Section Emergency Test

[Mark Duff]

On Saturday Feb 21st, the Eastern Mass ARES staff will be conducting =
it's annual winter Simulated Emergency Test (SET). The goal of the test =
is to simulate a winter storm driven, large scale, long term power =
outage. This is an ideal exercise to participate from your home. The =
exercise will begin at 1000am and end sometime after 1200pm local time.=20

Please tune to your local RACES 2M repeater frequency and/or to 146.64 =
to participate.

All ARES members and interested amateurs are invited and encourage to =
participate.=20

The events of August 2003 which plunged much of the eastern part of the =
country into darkness has once again illustrated our vulnerability to =
massive power outages and the many problems associated with loss of =
power. It also once again bought out the importance of amateur radio =
communications.

Additional information on ARES and the exercise is available on the =
Eastern Mass ARES WEB Site
