Hello to all 



I am looking for your help with Amateur Radio Support for VT Yankee drill. 



MEMA & VT Yankee will be holding 3 drills for 7 towns in side of the 10 mile E.P.C. for VT Yankee on the MASS side. The towns are Bernardston, Colrain, Greenfield, Gill, Leyden, Northfield, and Warwick. This would be March 18 th , April 15 th and June 10 th . All times are from 8.00am to 2.00pm. 



Now Colrain, Greenfield, Gill and Northfield are on line with ARES & RACES, but we need your help to staff them. Greenfield EOC is the center for the drill and we are set with operators. 



But Colrain, Gill, and Northfield only have one operator. Can you come out and help and support your follow radio operator. I would like to see two operators per town. 



This is what you would be doing: 



Run Amateur Radio, answer telephones, fax, e-mail and so on if asked by the Emergency manager. In most cases you would just be on Amateur Radio. All messages going to MEMA would be to MEMA Region 3 only. 



Here is what I am looking for: 



One to two radio operators per town 

One radio operators to run a 2-meter net 

One radio operator for a relay on HF from 

One radio operator to relay from VT ARES / RACES net 

One radio operator to relay from NH ARES / RACES net 



If you can help please let me know and thank you for your time.
