Hi Folks;

THIS IS A TEST - THIS IS A TEST - THIS IS A TEST

Our new MDC ARES SEC has given us a little test. The weather forecast  
is predicting heavy rains coming in from the Gulf bumping up with an  
Arctic clipper from the North producing a gigantic ice and snow  
Octostorm across much of the Section arriving Thursday night.  We need  
to be ready for this.  Predictions of downed power lines, loss of  
Internet and phone lines abound.

Once again - THIS IS A TEST - there is really no such prediction. But  
just imagine that it was true.......

Please review the five questions below and send me you response by  
Noon this Friday October 5.

73; Steve, N3SB

1.  Do you have a backup generator?  y/n?

2.  Do you have a Battery bank backup?

3.  Do you have Winlink Nodes available to you, and which do they favor?

4.  Are you Winlink WinMOR capable?  If yes, what HF Gateways do you favor?

5.  Do you do WinMOR Peer-to-Peer?  If so, what bands?
