[CTSARA] CT ARES - Region 1 Relay Net (Sundays)

[WA1SFH]

Sunday, January 29, 2017

 

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

- We had a good start last week, despite the scheduled football games. ;-)

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.

NOTES
* 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 have the right qualifications. It is really easy!

See You On-The-Air!
