[K3PZN-List] HF Hospital Net Tonight at 7:30 pm on 3.820

[James Nitzberg via K3PZN-List]

Dear CCARC members,

Saw this post from the ARRL and thought I would pass it on.  It is an opportunity 
to join a Hospital HF net this evening at 7:30 local time on 3.820.

Interesting idea - HF communication among hospitals....for backup in the event of 
a communication emergency!

73,

Jim   WX3B

ASM Wanda Montgomery, KA3AHI, who has been working diligently to connect
hospitals, health departments and Amateur Radio, holds the HF Hospital
Net (HFHN) on the Wednesday after the third Monday every month.
Sometimes that's the third Wednesday and, depending on the calendar it
may be the fourth Wednesday.

   In the event of a major disaster, HF communication may be one of the
methods that will be needed. Whether you are in an ARES® group or not,
it would be nice to know that there is a group of HF operators who are
able to participate in an HF net to pass requests from your local
hospital via HF to the health department or local Emergency Operations
Centers.

   Whether you are active in HF nets such as the Maryland Emergency
Phone Net (6 pm every day on 3.820, they would love to have more
check-ins) or you have to move some stuff out of the way to find your
rig, please give this net a try to see if you will be able to help out
from home in an emergency. It is a short net to test who is able to be
heard. It is scheduled for 7:30 pm tonight on 3.820.
