[CTSARA] Region 1 Relay Net (Sundays)

[WA1SFH]

Saturday, January 21, 2017

 

Hi Everybody!
As you all know, Region 1, for various reasons, has difficulty participating
in the statewide Analog CT ARES Section Emergency Coordinator (SEC) Net. 
In order to provide a way to include stations in the Region, I have
volunteered to be the lead Net Control Station (NCS)* for a Relay Net.

I spoke with Tom K1TA, the newly elected President of GNARC, and he has
graciously permitted us to use the repeater for this purpose.
Thanks Tom! ;-)

WE START THIS SUNDAY (Jan. 22) - TOMORROW!

All stations with in interest in or information for the SEC Net are welcome
to Check-In.

I will take Check-Ins from stations in Region 1, and act as a relay station
for those stations to/from the SEC Net. 

- This includes Announcements, Reports, etc.

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 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.

NOTES
* We will be needing alternate Net Control Stations 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).
2. Able to follow a Net Script.
3. Write a Check-In Log Sheet and forward that Log to me.


Please let me know if you have the right qualifications. It is really easy!

See You On-The-Air!
