ARRL Simulated Emergency Test 
  
  
Saturday October 5th, 2013 
  
  
Time: 0800 to 12pm (should be adjusted for travel and setup times) 
  
  
Location: Camden County EOC and OEM 2 
  
  
Purpose:  Establish and Check HF propagation from EOC and OEM 2 
                  Contact between Camden County and other County EOC's  in SNJ . 
                  Establish Contact from EOC to Members/ EOC's around Camden County. 


                  Check Long distance Propagation outside of NJ.

Discussion:  The intention is to provide a dual purpose drill but to also add a little 
excitement in the mix by utilizing OEM 2 in a field setting.  We also want to include all 
members who may not have HF capabilities or also not licensed for HF operations.  Case 
in point we will establish a UHF net on the 442.150 machine to check the repeater and switch 
to a UHF simplex frequency to see if contact can be made as well.  
  
  
Manpower:  EOC : 4 Operators;   OEM 2: 4 Operators;   Members participating from home 
are encouraged.  UHF/HF Operations can be adjusted based on member availability.  
  
  
Operations: EOC to activate a HF Presence on 80 Meters 3.970 MHz +/- or depending on conditions 
40 Meters 7.250 MHz +/-.  Utilize a simple net script.  UHF Operations will consist of 
EOC calling a EMCOMM Net on 442.150 repeater and requesting check in's .  This also can be simplified to 
a general call for check in's since the likely hood for turnout on UHF would be low.  It also may depend on 
whether or not other counties are available that day to check in.  
  



This is a general guide.  As with any operation we have to be flexible and adjust on the fly.  All members who wish 
</blockquote>
    to be involved either directly or observing are more than encouraged to come out.  Please email me if you plan on 
    attending.  Please also relay to fellow club members but we ask you do not publish details on websites.
