[CTSARA] Region 1 Relay Net - Tonight

[WA1SFH]

Sunday - Feb.19, 2017

Hello Region 1 ARES Members!
It is SUNDAY. and time for the weekly "CT ARES Region 1 Relay Net"

All stations with in interest in or information for the ARES Section
Emergency Coordinator/Section Manager Net are welcome to Check-In on this
Relay Net.

The Net Control Station (NCS) will take Check-Ins from stations in Region 1,
and act as a relay station for those stations to/from the SEC/SM Net. 
- This includes Announcements, Reports, etc. in both directions

We will need to stay tight to the Check-In Window (8:10 pm - 8:15 pm) in
order to Relay information up to the SEC/SM Net.
- This window time may change after we get some "real world" experience

- You will need to wait to the end of the Net to hear information coming
back to Region 1 through the Relay Station. 

 

Date:      Sundays

What:     The Region 1 Relay Net

Time:      8:10 pm

Where:  Norwalk: W1NLK (146.475 MHz)

 

Check-In Format
Please speak S-L-O-W-L-Y and give:
- Your Callsign, 

- Your First Name

- Current QTH (i.e. Town), 

- Power Source: Battery, or Commercial, or Generator

- State:  "Traffic" or "No Traffic" (as appropriate)

Then, wait to be recognized.

There is a period of time (8:15 - 8:25) when the Net is in STAND BY mode as
the Net Control Station moves to the CT ARES Statewide Net to log everyone
in for Region 1, gets Announcements and then returns to the Relay Net with
that information to wrap up the Relay Net.
- During this time you are free to get a cup of coffee. ;-)

You might qualify as a Net Control Station (NCS)
We are looking alternate Net Control Stations (especially in the Eastern
side of Region 1) to pitch-in on the Sundays when I may be out of the area.

NCS Qualifications: 
1. MUST have a good signal into both the Norwalk Repeater AND the Woodbridge
Repeater (W1WPD  442.500 MHz).

- I am thinking that stations located in the Eastern part of Region 1 (e.g.
Bridgeport, Stratford, Trumbull) might be good candidates
- I am also looking for stations in the Western part of Region 2 (e.g.
Shelton, Milford, Orange) as alternate NCS for this Relay Net 

2. Able to follow a simple Net Script.

3. Write a Check-In Log Sheet and forward that Log to me.

Please let me know if you qualify. 

It is really easy!  :)

See You On-The-Air!
