Controlled Release – Within the Amateur Radio  Community  
To better equip the Amateur Radio community to serve  the people in the 
state of Alaska, Members of the Amateur Radio Emergency  Services or A.R.E.S. 
will be conducting an exercise this Saturday March  20th 2010 from Ten am to 
12 noon Alaska Time. The mission of this  exercise is to evaluate methods of 
communications from each of the south central  regions such as, Cordova and 
Kodiak sending  traffic to the MATSU for relay to the State Emergency 
Coordination Center. As well as to familiarize our members with the  nationally 
accepted I.C.S. forms, format, and associated  paperwork. 
Methods deployed will be High Frequency Voice, and HF  digital, for distant 
communication, and UHF and VHF Phone and Digital for more  local traffic.  
The process will be  a DIRECTED NET, and as such it will be monitored and 
directed by a net control  operator, in this case KL7JFT. 
Frequencies in play will be: 
HF:  
3933 Command and Control 
3915 for traffic 
Win link will also be used on HF and VHF for form  traffic 
147.270 Anchorage, 147.330 Valley and 147.300 for local voice traffic,   
The Eagle Packet Node will be used as well to pass  traffic.  
Your cooperation during this exercise is greatly  appreciated.  
Sincerely, 
Pete  Summers
