Good afternoon all. Saturday is this year's ARES Simulated Emergency Test. If you haven't heard, we're doing a joint exercise with the St. Mary's folks. I've attached a copy of the scenario and some objectives we've come up with. Also attached is a copy of the ICS-205(Emergency Radio Communications Plan), an overhead view of where we'd like folks participating to report at Jefferson-Patterson Park just prior to 9am(you can use the repeater if you need to be guided in), and a copy of the Auxcomm member list

Around 9am, Shawn N3AE will simulate a call-up and activate a Resource Net on the K3CAL repeater system with further information and instructions as would happen in a similar situation. Dave W3PQS will be at Jeff-Pat to act as Net Control for folks in the field and will pass on frequencies and any additional instructions for those participating.

A couple of things to keep in mind... We're not using any type of script. What we say isn't as important as establishing and maintaining the communication. Locations, signal reports, and general related info are fine. Next, please limit your communication to net control or EOC if that's who you are asked to report to. Folks from Calvert shouldn't have to talk to folks from St. Mary's unless you're at the EOC. Radio discipline/layered communication would be stressed in this environment. Downward and upward communication is one of the goals. Cell phones are not off limits. If you lose contact with the net, EOC, or whoever you're asked to report to, feel free to call them. Not looking to lose anyone. We're hoping we can do it all by radio but...  Folks in the field can move about wherever you'd like. You want to try a different location or a couple of different spots, that's encouraged. It will help us get a better handle on where HT's are effective and where they're not. Last and most important, Please remember to end transmissions with "exercise message" or the like! We don't want to alarm any listeners.

Please read over the scenario to get the jest of what we're looking to accomplish and use the ICS-205 to program any frequencies into your radios. If you don't have an HT, Dave will have a couple with him that can be borrowed.

Fixed locations will be:
Barstow EOC site KC3WRX
Jefferson-Patterson Park W3PQS
Drum Point Community Center AC3KX(fingers crossed he can get it)
Shawn's QTH N3AE

Hopefully we can practice what we know, learn what we don't and how to overcome any obstacles, and have some fun doing it.

The plan is lunch at 3 Brothers in Prince Frederick afterward.

I think that's it right now. Shawn? Bill? Dave? Any input?

Any additional info will be passed on and if anyone has a question, reply all to this that way we'll all see the question and hopefully understand the answer.

Look forward to seeing folks and thanks for your time.
