[CTSARA] CT ARES Simulated Emergency Test Today

[John Lucarelli]

Thanks for organizing this today. I apologize for using the other freq. It was a hail Mary propagation as I drove around all over Greenwich with my baofeng to get a signal at exit 5 riverside shopping ctr....nowhere near my home. Finally moved through a number of channels until I reached Steve. Time to seriously think about NVIS for local greenwich disaster preparedness....

simulating a hurricane strike by a powerful hurricane that knocks out
landline, internet, and cell phone.

In Region 1, we will be actively participating Saturday morning.  Stamford
local nets will run on the *ODD HOURS* starting at 0900, 1100, 1300 for
about 1/2 hour each on Saturday.  Steve, KB1YLQ, is net control for
Stamford.  All you need to do is check into the net.  Steve will be
monitoring the New Canaan 2 meter repeater* and DMR on Stamford CT TAC 1.

Some locations in the state will be operating additional nets at 1500 on
Saturday and 0900, 1100 on Sunday.  You are of course welcome to continue
all weekend and check into nets.

We will not be doing Skywarn or formal NTS nets this time.  If any of you
are Winlink capable, you are encouraged to send messages.

CT ARES will also have a formal HF Net running on 3.965 MHz and/or 7.280
MHz at about 0815, 1015, 1215, 1415, 1615 on Saturday and 0815, 1015, 1215 on
Sunday.  They will first try 3.965 but if propagation doesn't support it,
they will move to 7.280.

Please log any contacts you have and any messages you sent and send the log
to me after the exercise.


*New Canaan 146.7750  -600KHz  PL 100

Also try
Norwalk on 146.475  +1MHz  PL 100  or  PL 114.8  (Norwalk has two
different receivers - one covering West and one covering East)
Bridgeport on 146.4450  +1MHz  PL 77.0
Ridgefield on 145.4700  -600KHz  PL 100
Danbury on 147.300 +600KHz  PL 100
