After this starts working & people get the concept then iy is not so dependent on one person.  We did this about ten years ago which resulted in a big net.  We had to separtate cara & ARES from one another eventually because of too many hams from everywhere checkin.

>>Just a follow up to the SMLS being disabled by CARA. While it was unfortunate, there was never any danger to life (people) or structures for the recent weather events that occurred because of the loss of that system. There were enough repeaters still on line that mostly all communications were able to be conducted in St. Mary's.

>>Calvert has been heard that they used simplex since their plan has been re-written to no longer include any SPARC repeaters and Charles County worked simplex. We have not heard from PG or AA counties to see how they fared through the weather(although it was not as bad there)..
>>
>>Yes, it's a great inconvenience that we do not currently have inter-county communications, but we will solve that in a way that does not involve the Calvert Amateur Radio Association. This will be a very simple thing to do and we will publish details of how we will accomplish this in the next month or so.
>>
>>Please be patient while we work on the replacement system and then we ask everyone to become active in supporting it. The Calvert Club has demonstrated how easy it is for one group to take out an entire system for many groups and we simply have to make sure that can never happen again.
