[K3CAL] Calvert County ARES Digital Special Interest Group

[Wayne Rogers]

In our strategic plan we have a number of objectives that relate to the establishment of digital messaging capability in our county.  It makes sense at this time to put our heads together on this.  I am proposing to set up a group to help make this happen.

Calvert ARES Digital SIG - The purpose of the group is to get our heads together and make some decisions about (1) what is needed in terms of infrastructure, (2) what modes and technologies we should focus on, (3) how to progressively grow the capability, (4) how to get a number of our ARES operators equipped, and (5) how to train all operators, including casual operators in digital techniques.  This will be a low pressure effort - we're not in competition to see how fast we can get this going.  We already have some capability in the county and the idea is to leverage what we have, supplement it with what we can get from the county and encourage ARES members to get equipped.  We would like to see some digital messaging in place and practiced before the serious hurricanes come our way (August).

Please respond to Wayne N1WR if you are interested (my email address is in the cc block above).
