[CTSARA] Drill - Red Cross - April 4th 9am

[Paul Lourd]

To: All local hams
From: Paul, WB2JVB ARES DEC Region 1

The Red Cross has asked for our help in testing radio communications in our
area. The purpose is to test communications between the sites typically
opened as shelters, town EOC’s and the Red Cross office in Bridgeport.

This drill will be coordinated by Jon WB2RYV, Larry W1LAG and me.

Hams will be assigned to a location for the test and will perform comm
tests using analog FM, simplex and repeater, and DMR if possible. The
locations will be Stamford, Norwalk and Bridgeport. If we get sufficient
volunteers, we will include Fairfield and Westport.

The test will not take long, and will involve simply making contact and
following a simple test plan that will be sent to those volunteering.

Please send an email to me directly at wb2jvb at arrl.net if you can spare a
few moments for this test. Let me know which town you would prefer.

Thank you in advance for your participation helping one of our major served
agencies!

Paul
