SET (Simulated Emergency Test) always occurs the first weekend of October.
Conducted nationally by ARRL ARES organizations.  So it is Saturday and
Sunday >  October 5 and 6.  Half the time we have a major weather event
(hurricane) in late September and/or October timeframe which requires many
man-hours of EmComm that SET is cancelled.  This year we are half way
through hurricane season without one hurricane hitting the United States!  I
probably just jinx us - lol. 

 

Also, mark your calendar for CF Cycle Event for Sunday, October 20.  It is
an early morning event that ends early afternoon.  Usually, followed by
lunch at Herrington Harbor Restaurant for all participates (cyclists and
hams). > Free tee-shirt, too.

Hi Guys,

 

You are invited to The 2013 MDC Section SET planning meeting this Saturday
from 0900 to 1200.  Early morning coffee and edibles will be provided.

 

Map and directions provided at the end of this communication.

 

Please bring any issues you might think is relative to the exercise for
"resolution by committee."  I already have a short list waiting for you all.
You may bring any one involved with the exercise from your district.

 

I am most interested in knowing your Winlink players, if you have not
already sent their names and call signs to me earlier.

 

If you have any idea or notion what your jurisdiction is going to do for the
exercise, we'd all sure would like to hear about it and how it would fit
into the overall scheme of things.

 

For the most, part this is going to be a strategy session to learn strengths
and weaknesses of our capabilities to support EmComm for the Section.  Oh,
and it's going to be fun too!!!

 

Please respond as soon as possible so I can get a head count for room size
and refreshments.  Those who have already let me know, need not reply. .
.just show up!!

 

Wearing ham radio call sign badges would be a plus.

 

Talk-in on 146.61 (-) no pl.

 

Looking to see all of you, some for the first time.  Drive safe.

 

tnx es 73, de

The month of October is a very active month for our ARES organization.
There are activities for everyone to participate to help so the burden is
not placed on just a few individuals.  Some information concerning upcoming
activities is posted below and more detailed information will be emailed to
you when it becomes available.  Thanks in advance for your support in these
events. 

 

October 4 & 5, Friday PM - Saturday PM :  SET 2013 

 

October 19 & 20; Saturday & Sunday; JOTA (Jamboree-on-the-Air)

 

October 20:  Sunday AM & PM:  Cystic Fibrosis Cycle Event

 

SET 2013

 

Hi guys!

 

I am in the process of putting together a master plan for the upcoming 2013
SET.  The dates will be Friday night ~ 1800 October 4 through ~1800 Saturday
October 5.  It is not a continuous 24 event for everyone.  We will all play
at different times according to a schedule I am working on.

 

It's Hurricane 'Chessie' coming up the bay, Friday, making a left turn at
BACO and out to GARR some time late Saturday.  I plan to have MEPN be a
major player. There will be staggered activations throughout the event with
specific actions to be taken.  WL2K will be the EmComm digi mode of choice.
Should be a fun event.

 

More on this as the plan gels.  Please reserve this weekend and pass it
along to your contacts. . .ARES, non-ARES, clubs, etc.  If you can get your
local served agency to open their EOC for this exercise, that would be
great.  I wish to get the word out to every one in your county the best YOU
can.  Everybody can be a player.

 

Jim Cross, please add excerpts of this brief to your monthly Section
Newsletter in Aug and Sep.

 

Stay tuned.

JOTA 

 

JOTA (Jamboree-on-the-Air) weekend is coming October 19 and 20.  

An annual Scouting event linking Scouts around the world using amateur
radio.

Now is the time to call your local scout unit and ask them to participate in
JOTA.  There is no special way it is done; it can be in your home, at a
scout camp, at a Camporee or in a scout meeting room.  All it takes is You,
a Radio and Scouts.  I have found it works great with a partner or two.  One
person can operate the radio while a second person can explain what the
operator is doing and answer any questions about Amateur Radio.  Pick a
band, almost any band will do, the following chart will give you suggested
frequency segments that will be in use.

It is not limited to voice, you can use CW, PSK, satellite, internet or
whatever other mode there might be available for hams with scouts at their
side.  All it takes is to make contact with a scout unit, schedule the time
and place, plan your station setup and test it out.  

You can operate from home if you have the space, it could be one or two
scouts or it could be twenty, so planning is important.  You could use your
mobile, the basic thing to remember is, is it safe and can they learn
anything from the experience.  It has to be fun for both you and the scouts.

I encourage clubs to take on the project and get involved with the Scouting
Program. Scouts or their leaders can be a future member of your club

Cystic Fibrosis Cycle Event

 

Dennis/Les-

 

We really appreciate the help and support the from Calvert County and Anne
Arundel Radio groups.   Communication is the key link to all that is vital
for the safety and effective running of the CF Cycle for Life and you
provide that important lifeline!

 

In the past we had the Ham Communication Base Station set-up at Herrington
Harbour South Marina (our location has moved slightly from the area we were
in last year), at each our Rest Stops (we've added an extra Rest Stop so
there will be a total of 5 this year), plus 2-3 operators in our SAG
vehicles along the course. We'll provide t-shirts, snacks and beverages and
you are welcome to join our post ride "Rolling Thunder" after party held at
Herrington Harbour Marina.

 

That's a quick summary as we get closer to the event, hopefully we can find
a time to meet and discuss the logistics in greater detail.

 

In the meantime, please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns
or if you need any additional information!  Also, please provide me with the
official names of each of your groups so I have them for some thank you
acknowledgements.

 

Thank you for all your dedicated and continuing support of our efforts and
look forward to working with you and your teams on another wonderful and
safe CF Cycle for Life.  We couldn't so it without you!

Read email below concerning quarterly meeting and picnic for SKYWARN.

 

If you are thinking about attending please notify Chris beforehand since
this a Government installation that requires permission to enter.
Generally, these SKYWARN meetings are held for SKYWARN personnel heading the
various areas in the NWS Sterling jurisdiction and EC & AEC's.  Since there
is no SKYWARN person acting as our focal point in Calvert County then just
say you are that person.  Hopefully, we can get SKYWARN back to being useful
to all again.   

 

73, Dennis

Hello All,

First of all, I would like to say thank you for being a part of our 
SKYWARN amateur radio community! This is a reminder that our annual 
SKYWARN appreciation picnic is next Sat the 21st. The picnic starts at 
noon. While there will be some food and drinks there, feel free to bring 
anything you'd like of either.

Also, if you'd like to attend the quarterly meeting of the SKYWARN 
leadership, the meeting is just before the picnic from 11am to noon. 
Please be prompt so that we may start the meeting at 11am and get out in 
time for the picnic.

Looking forward to seeing you here at NWS Baltimore/Washington. Our 
address for the unfamiliar is below:
43858 Weather Service Rd
Sterling, VA 20166

We are 4 miles west of the Rt 606 and Rt 28 intersection along Rt 606 
(Old Ox Rd). Use the intercom box to gain access at the gate, and park 
in front. Our office is the building right under the tall radar tower on 
the northwest end of the grassy field campus. Park in front. If you 
have any questions, I can be reached at 703-996-2201, or at

CALV ARES STATIONS please read email below concerning SET 2013 from
Wanda/KA3AHI.  

 

We will continue our hands on getting as many people setup for RMS Express
at our September meeting.  If you like to learn bring your 2M radio, sound
card device, power supply, coax and antenna though some of these items we
can share at the Phillips House with others.  If you can, download the
latest version of RMS Express onto your computer.  

 

At the CALV ARES Meeting, I like to get commitments for those wanting to
participate in this year's SET and those wanting to help with the CF Cycle
Event on Sunday, October 20.  Like to know what position one would like to
have that day such as RS #2, SAG vehicle, Start/Finish Line and etc.   We
like to have some stations with APRS to track the riders.  

 

If you are going to help out our ARES group and cannot make it to the ARES
Meeting, please let me know where or what you can do to help.  We need a
number of operator and backup operators at the various RS.  

 

If you are not a member of CALV ARES, please let me know or come to our
meeting on Tuesday, September 17 beginning at 7:30 (L) P.M. located at the
Phillips House in PF.

Good evening All, 

 

There will be a meeting on Saturday, September 21, 2013, 0900 - 1200 at the
Fire Services Building, 6820 Webster Street, Hyattsville, Maryland, for a
dry run of ARES' involvement in this year's Simulated Emergency Test (SET).
PRGE ARES' involvement will center around but not limited to our hospital
program.  

 

SET will take place on October 4-5, 2013.  The 4th will not require any
participation on your part as it will be mostly weather reports of the
impending strom.  At approximately 0600 hurricane "Hurricane Chessie" will
enter the Maryland section of the Chesapeake Bay.  Over a period of time
from 0600 to 1600 it will work its way through out Maryland ending at
Garrett County.  The scenario is designed so that all of the Maryland - DC
Section counties and the District of Columbia will be affected and have a
chance to play.  

 

As each county plays out their own individually designed SET scenario, there
will be overall exercise injects given to all players involved that will
drive actions to be taken or situational awareness updates to be sent to the
Maryland - DC Section Emergency Coordinator and the Maryland Emergency
Management Agency.  The goal is to show "continuity of communications"
through out the state of Maryland and the District of Columbia.

 

Several entities, PRGE and STMA Counties and MEMA are having "dry run"
meetings in preparation for SET.  PRGE County ARES will conduct their "dry
run" meeting Saturday to ensure all participants interested in playing in
SET will understand what to expect and how they can play in the exercise.  

 

PRGE ARES needs operators to play in SET.  Operators will be asked to
support hospitals, county health department, county EOC, ARES EOC and HF
WinMOR stations.  Anyone who is WL2K capable, both RMS Packet and WinMOR is
especially needed. The goal of the "dry run" is to plan for
interoperability,  capability, availability and scheduling of operators
needed to play in 2013 SET.

  

Any licensed ham who would like to play in the exercise is invited to join
this meeting.  All experienced health care EmComm operators who have been or
would like to be associated with the PRGE County Hospital Program please
consider coming out to support. 

 

This is not a training session per se but if anyone would like to get
involved with WL2K come on out, bring your computer and we will help you get
a Winlink account.

 

WL2K operators are asked to begin practicing WL2K between now and 9/21, and
especially from 9/21 and October 4.  

 

Please let me know if you can attend.  

 

ARES appreciates your dedication to our ARES events, drills and exercises.

 

Thank you and hope to see you there! ! !

Dennis,

I'm pretty well set up for 2mtr ops on RMS Express, thanks to the last meeting.  

I'll help with the CF Cycle Event.  I have my mobile rig (camper with generator and A/C) and HT.  I've never worked a bike race.  Did do the Annapolis Trail run a few years ago.  Put me where you think me and my equipment will be best.  Don't have APRS capabilities (yet.)

CALV ARES STATIONS please read email below concerning SET 2013 from Wanda/KA3AHI.  
 
We will continue our hands on getting as many people setup for RMS Express at our September meeting.  If you like to learn bring your 2M radio, sound card device, power supply, coax and antenna though some of these items we can share at the Phillips House with others.  If you can, download the latest version of RMS Express onto your computer.  
 
At the CALV ARES Meeting, I like to get commitments for those wanting to participate in this year?s SET and those wanting to help with the CF Cycle Event on Sunday, October 20.  Like to know what position one would like to have that day such as RS #2, SAG vehicle, Start/Finish Line and etc.   We like to have some stations with APRS to track the riders.  
 
If you are going to help out our ARES group and cannot make it to the ARES Meeting, please let me know where or what you can do to help.  We need a number of operator and backup operators at the various RS.  
 
If you are not a member of CALV ARES, please let me know or come to our meeting on Tuesday, September 17 beginning at 7:30 (L) P.M. located at the Phillips House in PF.

Good evening All, 

 

There will be a meeting on Saturday, September 21, 2013, 0900 - 1200 at the Fire Services Building, 6820 Webster Street, Hyattsville, Maryland, for a dry run of ARES' involvement in this year's Simulated Emergency Test (SET).  PRGE ARES' involvement will center around but not limited to our hospital program.  

 

SET will take place on October 4-5, 2013.  The 4th will not require any participation on your part as it will be mostly weather reports of the impending strom.  At approximately 0600 hurricane "Hurricane Chessie" will enter the Maryland section of the Chesapeake Bay.  Over a period of time from 0600 to 1600 it will work its way through out Maryland ending at Garrett County.  The scenario is designed so that all of the Maryland - DC Section counties and the District of Columbia will be affected and have a chance to play.  

 

As each county plays out their own individually designed SET scenario, there will be overall exercise injects given to all players involved that will drive actions to be taken or situational awareness updates to be sent to the Maryland - DC Section Emergency Coordinator and the Maryland Emergency Management Agency.  The goal is to show "continuity of communications" through out the state of Maryland and the District of Columbia.

 

Several entities, PRGE and STMA Counties and MEMA are having "dry run" meetings in preparation for SET.  PRGE County ARES will conduct their "dry run" meeting Saturday to ensure all participants interested in playing in SET will understand what to expect and how they can play in the exercise.  

 

PRGE ARES needs operators to play in SET.  Operators will be asked to support hospitals, county health department, county EOC, ARES EOC and HF WinMOR stations.  Anyone who is WL2K capable, both RMS Packet and WinMOR is especially needed. The goal of the "dry run" is to plan for interoperability,  capability, availability and scheduling of operators needed to play in 2013 SET.

  

Any licensed ham who would like to play in the exercise is invited to join this meeting.  All experienced health care EmComm operators who have been or would like to be associated with the PRGE County Hospital Program please consider coming out to support. 

 

This is not a training session per se but if anyone would like to get involved with WL2K come on out, bring your computer and we will help you get a Winlink account.

 

WL2K operators are asked to begin practicing WL2K between now and 9/21, and especially from 9/21 and October 4.  

 

Please let me know if you can attend.  

 

ARES appreciates your dedication to our ARES events, drills and exercises.

 

Thank you and hope to see you there! ! ! 

 

73 Wanda

Just watched this on Facebook.  These young people have designed a very usable antenna platform that can be used in just about any parking lot anywhere.  I think this would be a great club project.

In-Reply-To: <1288203125.8619400.1380470120762.JavaMail.root@comcast.net>
Message-ID: <1044164726.8640795.1380475612912.JavaMail.root@comcast.net>

All, 

I'm filling in for Dennis on the upcoming SET since he has to work those days. 

Looking for stations that want to participate in the 2013 Simulated Emergency Test (SET) which begins this Friday, October 4th at 1800 EDT and ends NLT 1800 EDT Saturday, October 5th. I suspect that there will be minimal activity during the late evening/early morning hours, but that's just my guess. 

The scenario for this year's SET is a Category 2 hurricane coming up the bay. Details in the attached SET Player's Handbook. The plan emphasizes use of digital modes (Winlink 2000) but voice com on VHF/UHF and HF will still be used. 

All operations would be from our home QTH's unless a particular op or mobile station wanted to deploy somewhere (park, whatever) to test out their field equipment and skills. If you use actual emergency power, all the better. 

Stations wanting to participate should RSVP me ASAP indicating which position they would like to fill. First come, first served, but PLEASE make sure you and your station can support the requirements indicated. 




Outline of plan for Calvert: 




1. All participating stations need to read the SET Player's Handbook (attached). 





2. We need an ARES net controller for a voice net on 146.985. Given the duration of the SET, probably a couple of ops willing to rotate into the net control spot, so if you're interested, let me know what time periods you prefer. Unlike a real event, I suspect activity will be sporadic/non-existant in late nighttime hours. Net control should be able to also monitor the Central Regional Net on 147.105 (Davidsonville). Would help if the net control stations had Winlink capability on 2M and/or HF. 





3. We need one or two stations to volunteer to be (simulate) the Calvert EOC. These stations, operating from their home QTH, will originate and receive traffic (voice and digital) and would monitor the net on 146.985 and also the regional net on 147.105 as needed. These stations SHOULD have 2M Winlink capability with the ability to monitor the 2M voice net AND run RMS Express at the same time. Ideally, this Implies two radios and two separate antennas, one for voice, one for WL2K, 





4. We need one or two HF-capable stations to monitor and check-in to MEMA on 3.820MHz or 7.243MHz. Per the SET plan, there may be some traffic Friday evening and then more on Saturday, They would communicate any relevant traffic on the Calvert ARES 2Mvoice net and/or WL2K digital. 




5. If we have enough stations willing to participate, we can have someone pretend to be the Red Cross station and another the Calvert Health Department station. 





6. N3AE will be the Winlink POC for receiving and forwarding any digital traffic out of or into the county. I'll be linked on both HF and 2M. 





7. To the extent possible, all stations that have 2M Winlink capability should try to use the store and forward capability of K3CAL-10 on 145.69. I've checked this out and it works. In brief, what one does is to send a normal Winlink message (packet WL2k session) to K3CAL-10. The addressee of the message is the destination station's callsign followed by @winlink.org. Example: a message to me would be addresses n3ae at winlink.org When the destination station connects to K3CAL-10, any stored messages for that station will be downloaded to them. 




8. Suggest any stations that have 2M Winlink capability try to send a message addressed to n3ae at winlink.org to the K3CAL-10 store and forward node BEFORE SET STARTS. That way, we can check out the functionality. I'll connect to K3CAL-10 periodically and check for messages. Folks having problems can contact me for help. To my knowledge, 2M Winlink to K3CAL-10 will require a 2M radio plus a packet TNC or a packet capable radio like the Kenwood D700 or D710, plus the appropriate cables. I've read that t he SignaLink USB can be used with the AGW Packet Engine software program to operate in the "Packet" mode but I have no experience with this setup. 




9. I strongly encourage all stations having Winlink capability (VHF or HF) try to connect to a Winlink CMS node as soon as possible if they have never done so before. Local 2M nodes are N1WR-10 in 145.69 (if it's up) and W3SMD-10 on 145.75. The practice is good, and by connecting to a node, you'll automatically be registered as a Winlink user. If already registered, connecting will restart the 400 day "inactivity" counter in Winlink's message system and keep your registration alive. Try sending a message to your own email account. For example, I'd send to an address of n3ae at comcast.net . Remember to put the string //WL2K as the first characters in the message subject (the Winlink system requires this to reduce spam). 





Let me know ASAP what positions you'd like to fill and any time constraints you may have so I can lay out a plan. 




Thanks !
