==> HFHN NET WEDNESDAY NIGHT, JUNE 17 AT 7:30 PM

We're going to try something new with the net this time. We're asking
all participants to copy those stations checking in that you hear. Then
send that list to ka3ahi at aol.com. We're currently mapping those
stations
that check in. Now we will map the stations that can be heard by the
stations checking in. This could help match liaison stations when
needed.

ASM Wanda Montgomery, KA3AHI, who has been working diligently toconnect
hospitals, health departments and Amateur Radio and holds the HF
Hospital Net (HFHN) 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.In the event of a major
disaster, HF communication may be one of the methods that will be
needed. Whether you are in an ARES® group or not, it would be nice to
know that there is a group of HF operators who are able to participate
in an HF net to pass requests from your local hospital via HF to the
health department or local Emergency Operations Centers.

Whether you are active in HF nets such as the Maryland Emergency Phone
Net (6 pm every day on 3.820, they would love to have more check-ins)
or you have to move some stuff out of the way to find your rig, Please
give this net a try to see if you will be able to help out from home in
an emergency. It is a short net to test who is able to be heard. It is
scheduled for 7:30 pm tonight on 3.820 +/-.
