> Is anyone in CC organizing the Simulated Emergency Test (SET) this year?

> Here's the notice from Frederick County:
>  Look out, here comes "Chessie"!
>
> This year's statewide Simulated Emergency Test  (SET) will be held  
> next Saturday, Oct. 5th, from noon until about  1330. Hurricane  
> "Chessie" will be tracking through the region  with hurricane  
> force winds, widespread power outages, and heavy  rain. All radio  
> operators in Frederick County will be asked to provide reports  on  
> the probable conditions that might occur in their neighborhoods.  
> These  reports might include power outages, wind damage (trees down,  
> roofs off,  possible tornadoes, etc.), flooding of nearby creeks and  
> streams with roads  impassable, etc.
>
> We will begin the scenario using the FARG 146.730  repeater, but  
> will switch to 146.580 simplex later in the exercise as the   
> repeater antenna is knocked down and some report relays will  
> probably be needed.  In a normal Skywarn activation we would be  
> using the MADXRA 147.060 in  stand-alone mode, but this machine will  
> be used to relay messages from Western  Maryland via the Target  
> system. Emergency power is encouraged and this is a  great  
> opportunity to test your systems. If you have a Skywarn spotter  
> number,  let us know, but this and/or ARES membership is not a  
> requirement to  participate. Put the word out to your ham buddies  
> who might not otherwise hear  about this and copy this message to  
> other local reflectors. Disasters don't  discriminate - all hams are  
> welcome.
>
> The net will begin at 1200 on 146.730 operating  from the K3ERM ARES  
> station at Red Cross in Walkersville.

> Let's have some fun with this!
