Very interesting that the front gate is not maned, and no rising barricades in the road. But, its been that way for years. The Fox people really didn't get close enough to do any damage with a bomb, actually you can get much closer with a boat on the Bay.

They should however, removed the abandoned guard station on the access road, if it wasn't in use anymore. 

A surface blast may cause the plant to stop production of power, but all the containment and process pipes and controls are below the surface, not visible from the ground outside.

But lets make this viral and give some terrorists an idea of striking Calvert County!! 

Sometimes the only thing to say is $!?&//@#!! The News media!

Main gates are typically not effective in providing security against a determined attacker, especially for facilities with big perimeters.  They basically serve to chase the general public away and not much more.

I would hope they have much higher protection levels inside the buildings and access to the control rooms.  As for the containment building itself, doubt you could do much damage with anything you could drag in by truck, unless the bad guys were able to craft a deep penetrating warhead ( think "bunker buster" ) and associated high velocity launch system.  Not impossible but unlikely.

Will be interesting to see the response from Calvert cliffs management.  It's likely to be vague as they would not want to reveal details of their actual local security measures which I kinda have to believe are there, otherwise a whole bunch of agencies have failed to do their jobs.

My intent sending the original email was not to be the security guard such
as actor John Candy played at Wally World.  My intent is to get ARES members
be more cognizant of what's around you.  What would we do as ARES members if
suddenly we were off the commercial electrical grid?  As an Amateur Radio
operator can you operate 72-hours without the power grid provided by BGE or
SMECO?  Operating 72-Hours is the target for EmComm groups.

 

The real value of Amateur Radio for Emergency Communications is to provide
the methods to pass the message from one location to a designed location
when no one else can.   We need to think 'outside the box'  by not being
depended upon structured communication! There are many situations that can
occur in this County or nearby jurisdictions where we may be called upon to
get that message from one location to another.

 

Another example that Eric/W4OTN pointed out at our last meeting is what
would happen if the trailer at MHCC tower is severely damaged.  Not only
would the 'Repeater' be left useless but so would much of the County's
comms.  Think about it for a moment; all of our eggs are in one basket
inside that one trailer.  Of course, there are pros & cons having our
equipment in the same room as the County.  However, how do we 'think outside
the box' to provide EmComms if our structure communication is not working.
If we have an emergency event that occurs here, do we have enough
frequencies, skills and personal equipment available to provide needed
logistics?   

 

When the United States was attacked on 9/11, emergency communications were
needed for weeks at the Pentagon.  Calvert RACES sent a team of five to the
Pentagon along with other RACES groups from Virginia & Maryland during this
time period.  Only RACES members were allowed to operate there.  Are you a
RACES member.  If not, why?

 

We participate in Public Service (PS) events to practice our communication
skills & methods for EmComms in addition to providing a service to our
customer.  It has just been in the last decade or less some jurisdictions
want to use the easy way for PS communications, hence, utilizing repeaters.
CALV-ARES members have help provided comms for years using Simplex such as
during Cycle-Across-Maryland event where all comms we did were via simplex
mode for this event covering hundreds of miles of routes throughout the
State.  Yes, relaying messages is part of simplex operations and YES it is a
slower method.  However, the messages always got to the designated location
timely.

 

ARES members need to think 'outside the box'.  How are you going to provide
communications when structured methods are not there?  One needs to plan how
they can operate and survive for at least 72-hour period.    

 

Don't think it cannot happen here.  Instead, think WHEN will it happen and I
am prepared? Training is key for EmComms.  

 

Start participating in EmComms by coming to CALV-ARES meetings held on the
THIRD TUESDAY, 1930-Hours, every month.  We provide the logistics, training
and have many open discussions on all the various aspects of EmComms.  It is
all about US and how WE can work as a GROUP to get the MESSAGE from one
location to the designated LOCATION.  We have missed seeing you at our
meetings.  We really would like to have more active and worthwhile inputs
for successful EmComms training.

 

I talked recently with Jim Montgomery/WB3KAS, MDC-SEC.  He told me he
attended a EmComm event in Nevada last month where he heard what we all
know.much of the EmComms provided by ARES/RACES groups in this country occur
along the Gulf States for weather happenings or out west for wildfires.
EmComms are rare, if ever, occur for the mid-Atlantic States.  As a result,
we get into our cozy>lazy>safe> secure state of idleness putting EmComms to
the back burner.  As an ARES group, we need to be active so we can be
prepared for when practicing is not practice one day.  

 

BTW, the movie with actor John Candy at Wally World is National Lampoon's
Vacation.

Please see my additional emails requesting Monica, Ed and Chip to the ARES bounce and roster.

They also need to get info on the yahoo site, but I think there may be others that also need to register on that site too.

We really would like to have more active and worthwhile inputs for successful EmComms training.

 

I talked recently with Jim Montgomery/WB3KAS, MDC-SEC.  He told me he attended a EmComm event in Nevada last month where he heard what we all know?much of the EmComms provided by ARES/RACES groups in this country occur along the Gulf States for weather happenings or out west for wildfires.  EmComms are rare, if ever, occur for the mid-Atlantic States.  As a result, we get into our cozy>lazy>safe> secure state of idleness putting EmComms to the back burner.  As an ARES group, we need to be active so we can be prepared for when practicing is not practice one day.  

 

BTW, the movie with actor John Candy at Wally World is National Lampoon's Vacation.

Good points, please bring this up at the next meeting, even read the email to all. Those that already read it can be refreshed, maybe pick up an extra point they missed; those that didn't see it will be more informed. 

Please see my additional emails requesting Monica, Ed and Chip to the ARES bounce and roster.

 

They also need to get info on the yahoo site, but I think there may be others that also need to register on that site too.

My intent sending the original email was not to be the security guard such as actor John Candy played at Wally World.  My intent is to get ARES members be more cognizant of what's around you.  What would we do as ARES members if suddenly we were off the commercial electrical grid?  As an Amateur Radio operator can you operate 72-hours without the power grid provided by BGE or SMECO?  Operating 72-Hours is the target for EmComm groups.

 

The real value of Amateur Radio for Emergency Communications is to provide the methods to pass the message from one location to a designed location when no one else can.   We need to think ?outside the box?  by not being depended upon structured communication! There are many situations that can occur in this County or nearby jurisdictions where we may be called upon to get that message from one location to another.

 

Another example that Eric/W4OTN pointed out at our last meeting is what would happen if the trailer at MHCC tower is severely damaged.  Not only would the ?Repeater? be left useless but so would much of the County?s comms.  Think about it for a moment; all of our eggs are in one basket inside that one trailer.  Of course, there are pros & cons having our equipment in the same room as the County.  However, how do we ?think outside the box? to provide EmComms if our structure communication is not working.  If we have an emergency event that occurs here, do we have enough frequencies, skills and personal equipment available to provide needed logistics?   

 

When the United States was attacked on 9/11, emergency communications were needed for weeks at the Pentagon.  Calvert RACES sent a team of five to the Pentagon along with other RACES groups from Virginia & Maryland during this time period.  Only RACES members were allowed to operate there.  Are you a RACES member.  If not, why?

 

We participate in Public Service (PS) events to practice our communication skills & methods for EmComms in addition to providing a service to our customer.  It has just been in the last decade or less some jurisdictions want to use the easy way for PS communications, hence, utilizing repeaters.  CALV-ARES members have help provided comms for years using Simplex such as during Cycle-Across-Maryland event where all comms we did were via simplex mode for this event covering hundreds of miles of routes throughout the State.  Yes, relaying messages is part of simplex operations and YES it is a slower method.  However, the messages always got to the designated location timely.

 

ARES members need to think ?outside the box?.  How are you going to provide communications when structured methods are not there?  One needs to plan how they can operate and survive for at least 72-hour period.    

 

Don?t think it cannot happen here.  Instead, think WHEN will it happen and I am prepared? Training is key for EmComms.  

 

Start participating in EmComms by coming to CALV-ARES meetings held on the THIRD TUESDAY, 1930-Hours, every month.  We provide the logistics, training and have many open discussions on all the various aspects of EmComms.  It is all about US and how WE can work as a GROUP to get the MESSAGE from one location to the designated LOCATION.  We have missed seeing you at our meetings.  We really would like to have more active and worthwhile inputs for successful EmComms training.

 

I talked recently with Jim Montgomery/WB3KAS, MDC-SEC.  He told me he attended a EmComm event in Nevada last month where he heard what we all know?much of the EmComms provided by ARES/RACES groups in this country occur along the Gulf States for weather happenings or out west for wildfires.

If you are not attending tonight?s CALV-ARES Meeting ? Please check into the HFHN, 3.920, at 7:30 PM (L)?
 
Here is when  the hospital net is determine >  ?The HF Hospital Net (HFHN) is on the Wednesday after the third Monday every month.  Sometimes that's the third Wednesday and, depending on the calendar it may be the fourth Wednesday.?  Now, that is easy to calculate, right?

suggestions are welcome. I do plan to have this running through the SET even

Jim, EVERYTHING is important!  

 

I was pointing out how the APRS application is correctly pronounced.  I
think it very important to call it by its proper term, hence, as EC, I took
an opportunity to convey this to CALV-ARES Stations.  The other name I hear
too often by CALV-ARES members ONLY makes people from CALV sound like
hillbillies.  One needs a translator to figure what one is trying saying. 

 

I realize that some people here say the wrong pronunciation so often that
CALV hams more or less have learned to recognize what is being conveyed so
on one hand one might think this is a non-issue.  However, if we are
pronouncing this application by some another term during EmComm situation to
people in other jurisdictions then critical time can be wasted on the air
waves explaining ourselves.  That time could be perilous when real emergency
traffic needs to be sent or received.  

 

In my opinion, it far better to correct this issue now than in a
circumstance when dangerous conditions of Life & Property looms.  By not
pointing this mispronunciation out creates a bad habit that could be used by
some during an EmComm.  All I am saying is some of us for whatever reason
are not calling APRS by its proper term & by doing so can waste cherished
air time because a receiving station(s) are confused with a term being said
incorrectly.  By doing so necessities more radio air time to explain oneself
when time is vital.  A teachable moment via email now is much better served
than when Life & Property are threaten!   

 

Some emails lately received  are not acceptable during EmComms.  Radio
silence is the objective so that emergency and critical traffic can be
transmitted when needed.  I do thank-you for bring up trepidations because
they are teachable moments for many.

 

During SKYWARN Activation years ago in CALV a local ham reported from Owings
to SKYWARN NCS that the sky was 'bright and sunny' at his house while lower
CALV and parts of STMA were experiencing severe weather conditions.  SKYWARN
NCS states what reports they need from the affected area Spotters so that
they can update their emergency message to protect Life and Property.
'Bright and Sunny' was not one of those reports SKYWARN NCS was demanding.
They told us in SKYWARN class not to report on conditions other than those
that are requesting to keep the air waves open for real-time ground reports
to be given to Meteorologists at NWS Sterling, Virginia. 

 

Many of the new CALV-ARES hams have not experience any EmComms.  Count our
blessings!  We are in an area of the country that has been lucky for many
years not having manmade or natural disasters occurring.  When EmComm are
activated there are times when nothing is happening then all of sudden there
are radio reports coming from everywhere.   It takes training, education,
practice, experience, discipline and many other learned skills to be a good
commutator during an emergency situation(s).  This is why I say EVERYTHING
is important!

 

Our job as EmComm commutator's during emergencies is keep the Amateur Radio
frequencies being utilized for critical reports, traffic and messages OPEN
for EMERGENCY TRAFFIC, i.e., no rag chewing or unnecessary communications.

 

BTW, CALV has an APRS Station recently online located in Prince Frederick,
another coming to Huntingtown very soon, others going up in Sunderland and
Owings.  So there is progress occurring locally.  Keep in mind, one does not
need an APRS radio to provide APRS reports.  

 

I strongly suggest ALL those interested in APRS to watch Bob
Burninga/WB4APR, the inventor of APRS , who lives in the Annapolis area,
YouTube's presentation mentioned in an earlier email from me.  Go to >

I'm copying Gordon Davids / WJ3K  email I just received.  We need to report radio types, capabilities and callsigns soon.  

The plan is to have multiple paths of equipment heading towards MEMA in Reisterstown where they got a tornado hit.  Antennas went down and other equipment is damaged.  We will put an index card in a shoebox and transport it to Reisterstown in relays.  St Mary's is not playing.  Only 9 counties are playing of 16 in MD.  Luckily, I guess, they are nearly contiguous in the central part of the state.  We will be using APRS tracking and messaging to rendezvous with Anne Arundel County to pass our 'equipment' to them for further transport.  Voice net on AAR linked repeater(s) since they are fairly central to all stations playing.  Fixed stations to monitor movement and report coordinates, mobile stations to send coordinates, and drivers to drive the mobile stations.  It would be nice to have an operator/driver team for this.  

I plan to be APRS capable with a 710G by then.  Will be online to HRO soon as I send this update.  I will keep you updated as I get more info.  I'm in the email loop now for this exercise.


This from Gordon:

For SET Plans:
, 
Anne Arundel Radio Club -
Use of 147.105 / 147.075 / 444.400 linked repeaters for Central MD Net -
(This is a regular request.  We could probably operate most of the time 
as a non-directed net because our traffic would be fairly light.  We 
probably don't want to pre-empt all other use of the repeater system for 
our APRS exercise.  I don't know what other plans are afoot for use 
during the SET.)

 I'm working up a simple standard configuration for APRS ops so that we 
can play nicely in the existing APRS network in the area.  It would be 
useful to know what radio types will be used by the several ops.  More 
on that soon.

My Digipeater-IGate in Severna Park, WJ3K-1, will independently log all 
transmissions that it receives.
That can give us some good post-mortem data so we can see how the system 
has worked.

I understand that our hand-off scenario has changed.  The default will 
be to the FRED mobile station representing a relocated MEMA, probably on 
I-270 at the overlook southeast of Frederick.  That could be changed 
on-the-fly to a coordinated hand-off with PRGE/MONT in the eastern part 
of MONT.

Since we (WJ3K and WA3G) will be functioning as part of a mission 
assigned to ANAR, we will expect to be activated by our EOC or N3SEO.  
We will keep ANAR EOC advised on our progress or problems.

More later.

73,

Gordon Davids / WJ3K

Back from joining maybe 400,000 in NYC for the Great Climate March.  Interesting day.  I'll show anyone pix if your interested.
 
I had this email waiting in my mailbox.  This is the minutes.  So, now you have most of the info we talked about Saturday.  I will be informing MD SEC as I get info from all of you.
 
I need to know who can drive, who can monitor from home, who can be our voice link to the SET net, and who can operate while someone else drives.  This is the best case scenario: driver/operator team.  We may have to go with a single op/driver.  
 
I'm foreseeing that we come up with our equipment checks and voice contacts before the 0900L exercise start.  If we could do something Friday night or earlier Sat morning to be sure we are playing together, that would be good.
 
Please share info will all CALV ARES members.  Even those not participating can learn from the exercise.  We can also talk about this at the Thurs CARA meeting.

Great meeting, gang.  Glad you all could find time in your busy schedule to attend.  Appreciated all the discussion that pointed to the wishes of a successful SET. . .much like you all did last year.
 
I am going to go right into the Action Items as best as we can remember them, in no particular order.  There were a lot of ideas floating around, we captured some of them.  Please review carefully and make any corrections to the contents of this email.
 
1.  APRS Operators Call Signs
 
Action for all counties playing to get call signs and (something I forgot during the meeting) celly phone numbers to me as early as possible.  We talked about implementing my 'buddy system' rule so all operators will be with a second person in the car for safety considerations.  This is a priority action as I need to get the list to the APRS Trackers in a timely manner.
 
Known APRS drivers as of today:
 
    AB3UC - PRGE
    KB3KOW - CHAS
    WJ3K - ANAR
    MONT - ??
    CALV - ??
 
2.  'Live at the DE State Convention'
 
Jim, WI3N, agreed to send off an email to the convention chair to get the approximate time Bob Bruninga will be speaking on APRS and perhaps suggest that he consider our SET operations as part of his demonstration.  Our start time(s) can be flexible with his lecture schedule.
 
3.  Carroll County Players
 
Jeff, KB3FIO, agreed to see if he could find a few player from CARR to join in on the fun and participate with us.
 
4.  FRED Comms Van (Mike K3MMB) will be the "MEMA relocation support van" stationed and operating in the vicinity of the I270 overpass.
 
EC Jeff advised the Frederick local Red Cross station will be staffed.  
 
5.  ANAR ARC Repeater W3VRP
 
It was agreed that the ANAR ARC repeater on 147.105 (+) PL 107.2 will be the primary MDC SET repeater for the duration of the SET.  It was agreed, in the spirit of Amateur Radio cooperation, to secure permission from ANAR ARC for use of their repeater.  Action for Gordon, WJ3K to get me the proper email address for such a request.
 
6.  WJ3K to schedule relief NCS operators for their repeater.
 
7.  Mutual Aide
 
        Mike (MEMA) will request mutual aide to report to Fred and support the MEMA Comms Van.  
        
 
8.  WJ3K to provide configuration for efficient and proper APRS digipeat operation e.g., WIDE 1-1, WIDE, 2-1, etc. along with APRS Alert/RADAR capability configuration.
 
9.  Backup repeater for the 146.105 repeater will be on 442.300 (+) PL 107.2.  Permission will be needed for this repeater as well.  I see by the ARRL Repeater Directory this repeater has two sponsors. Gordon, please see if permission for both can be done with one email.
 
10.  Permission has been secured for the use of the N3ST 440 Linking System (Central Maryland Repeater Group) during our SET.  Repeaters are:
 
    Laurel         444.700+     PL 167.9
    Suitland      448.925-      PL 167.9
    Frederick    444.100+     PL 167.9
    Baltimore    449.675-     PL 167.9
    Orem          447.075-     PL 167.9
 
11.  All meeting participants are encouraged to join the MDCQRV Yahoo reflector to assist in scheduling any possible need for HF communications.  It is an instant membership, no approval required.
 
12. Frederick Memorial Hospital
 
 Jeff, KB3FIO, will see if they can get operators into Frederic Memorial Hospital to play with PRGE SET operations, VHF only.  FRED Comms van to relay to PRGE via 440 Linking system.
 
13.  NTS-Digital
 
Jim WI3N will reach out to Al W3YVQ regarding NTS Net, NTS Digital.  Also  will reach out to James Hamilton re NTS-D.
 
14.  Al Fitzsimmons will reach out to his contacts for additional help for SET.
 
15.  ARESMAT
 
MONT will provide mutual aide operators to assist with the FRED Comms Van.
 
16.  MONT EOC Ops
 
MONT will provide Winlink operators at MONT EOC
 
17.  Ben (MONT) K3RYR and William W3QX will operator from the Mont Co EOC.  "I want them to know what we do."
 
18.  Joel (PRGE) and Ben (MONT) exchanged emails so Ben can let Joel know who the MONT APRS Driver is.
 
19.  Jim (KAS) to email Shomo (GARR) to inquire about KB3NUF.  He should have been here today.
 
20.  WASH County Players
 
Jim WI3N will reach out to Butch, NI2W, for possible additional SET players.
 
==================
 
Due dates for the above action are in a timely manner for me to incorporate into a Revised Plan.  In other words.. .the sooner. . .the better!
 
Hopefully, I have all this right.  If there are any additions or corrections, reply to all and let me know the details.
 
Leaving in the morning for NC and will be back either Mon or Tues, depending how long the Mr. Fix-it list is!!  I have some jobs to do at FWMC hospital and Collington to get ready as soon as I get back.  I might delay the Plan revision until the week of the 29th. It is pretty much a repeat of this but more professionally written.
 
Again, a great team came together to make this a successful planning session.  We ought to do this more often.
 
 
 

tnx es 73, de

Localized flooding is possible from a coastal storm.  Here's the rain forecast.  One to over two inches can be expected in southeast New York, New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, eastern Maryland and eastern Virginia through Thursday.

 The best thing you can do to prepare is to remember to not drive in flooded roadways.  This is the leading cause of death in floods.  

 Stay up to date on this storm at weather.gov and through your favorite local media.

Subject: [CALV-ARES] APRS Callsigns
Message-ID: <8D1A721D1104B12-2148-1B327@webmail-va024.sysops.aol.com>






Sorry if I'm being repetitive but I need to submit the APRS callsigns with the /codes to the SEC for inclusion in the SET plan.  If you would send me thatll info, I will get it sent out.  
 
Also need to know if you can be a mobile station to move a simulated package either through the length of the county or, better, several to do relays with coordination within the county.
 
Quoted from a received email: 
(The rep for CARR will be Ray Wright, KB3VWK, and Gary Smith, KC3DGJ for FRED, and I?ll have them on the 444.100 CMRG repeater.)

Subject: [CALV-ARES] Are you planning to help on SET on Oct 4th.
Message-ID: <8D1A8C2F5359CDC-1DDC-22385@webmail-va074.sysops.aol.com>

 As the point of contact for the SET exercise on Oct 4th, I'm sending out my call for volunteers.? The MD SEC is waiting for an answer for how many players we are providing for the exercise.? We need monitors at home and one or more mobile rigs equipped with APRS.? Please respond with your call sign and slant number/type of operation.? I'm not sending the ops plan since I already sent it previously.? If you need it sent again, let me know.
?
Sorry for the multiple emails.
