Subject: [CALV-AUXCOMM] Simulated Emergency Test (SET) - More Operators

The SET is Saturday, Oct 7th from 9am to 3PM.  So far I have the participants listed below.  We need at least four more operators so I've added the K3CAL email reflector to this call.
 
N3AE
KC3WRX
W3PQS
KB3RAN
 
Note that the attached plan is based on 3-person teams in vehicles equipped with APRS..... a driver, a passenger to attend to the APRS and local radio communications, and the 3rd person to assist in locating the geodetic marker.   Nominally, the driver stays with the vehicle.  That's the direction we've been given and following ICS command protocols, that's what we will do. 
 
I'd like our SET participants to organize their 3-person teams rather than having me do it, so talk it up with other operators and let me know the team membership.  Hopefully we can have at least two teams, one covering south county and the other north county.
 
I WILL NEED THE CALLSIGNS THAT WILL BE USED ON APRS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  
 
Please read the attached plan for the information required on each marker inspected.  That info can be relayed to Net Control (N3AE) who will be at the EOC and using our repeater system and/or simplex on 146.595 (Calvert Simplex #2, Channel 9 in our June 2023 ICS-205).   Please use the URL in the attached plan to look at available markers and pick targets that look like they are reachable (i.e. on public property or otherwise safely approached.  Some sort of hand held GPS will be needed (cell phone with GPS, hiking GPS, etc).   Photos can be relayed to net control via cellphone message or if you're really game, as an attachment to a Winlink message if you keep the file size down below 50K (for a fast mode like VARA FM....smaller for Packet Winlink).    Larger file (max 120K OK via Telnet).   Winlink Express includes a function to resize attachments like photos.  See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=886P6ygHm00
 
Our September 20 AUXCOMM meeting will be devoted to finalizing our SET plans.
 
tnx

Shawn,
Thanks for the update.
About ready to send out a 2nd Draft, not a final.
KB3RAN sent me a note earlier stating he will run a Team and be the APRS driver.? Are N3AE,?KC3WRX,?W3PQS part of his Team or are the three you have listed a second Team minus KB3RAN?? Just a wee bit confusing.
The 'standard' APRS ssid has been '-9' in the past, as I do, but not cast?in stone. If using anything other than -9, we need to let the Trackers know what it is.
Thanks.

All,
 
Just a reminder of our monthly meeting.  The focus will be final plans for the SET on Oct 7th.  I'll be forwarding the final SET plan before the meeting.  Please bring a copy.
 
Andy, KC3WRX, is still looking for some partners to fill out his team for the SET to cover mid-county.  We have two 3-person teams that will cover the north and south county respectively.
 
W3PQS with APRS callsign W3PQS-9         (Cover North Calvert)
     - W3PQS
     - N3PPH
     - KH6CUJ
 
KB3RAN with APRS callsign KB3RAN-9      (Cover South Calvert)

KC3WRX with APRS callsign KC3WRX-9     (Cover Mid Calvert)
     - KC3WRX
     - ?

Regarding team reporting, the following info needs to be sent to me (at the EOC) by voice over our repeater system from each marker you visit.
 
I'll compile the reports and forward the spreadsheet to our SEC.

The example has lat/long in deg-min-sec
 
For example, a latitude of 38 degrees, 42 minutes and 20 seconds is in the spreadsheet as 38-42-20
 
But you can give me lat/long in whatever your GPS is set up to do.  Decimal deg, deg-min-sec or deg plus decilam minutes.  Not hard to convert.
 
https://www.directionsmag.com/site/latlong-converter/
 
38-42-20  = 38.70555555555556 degrees = 38 deg and 42.333333333333 min

At last week's lunch, the decision was made to grab a sandwich and meet at King's Landing Park at 11:30 for an outside lunch.  Backup in case of bad weather is Mexico north of PF but the forecast for Wednesday looks very nice.
 
Suggest meeting at the parking lot near the swimming pool and we'll find a picnic table nearby.

All,
 
Calvert ARES is now in a standby mode due to disturbance #16 which is currently east of the Florida coast and is forecast to intensify and track north through our area.
 
Please be prepared to execute our hurricane plan posted at https://auxcomm.k3cal.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/2023-Hurricane-Season-Staffing-Plan.pdf should county officials activate RACES.
 
Monitor the storm progress at nhc.noaa.gov
