[MarinTeams] Communications Practice Monday 7:00PM

[Bill Smith]

We will be exercising our various means of connectivity Monday evening at
7:00PM as part of the Radio program.  This notice is going out early in the
event power is out through the weekend and into next week.

Please join us 7:00-7:30 PM on the air Monday, starting on Channel 5
(Central Marin Repeater, 146.775 (-) PL 127.3).  If power is out, the
Channel 5 repeater will not be active.  The Channel 6 repeater (146.775 (-)
PL 151.4) will remain active as it is powered by solar/battery.  We will
also activate a cross-band repeater, see below.  

We will also make calls on Channel 4 (Mill Valley Repeater, 146.775 (-)
PL110.9) if active, and on Channel 3 (145.640).

East San Rafael Stations: The 438.350 frequency can be used to link to
Channel 6.  Set your radio to receive and transmit on 438.350 (simplex), no
pl. We may need to use a PL on 438.350, if so, set your radios to transmit a
103.5 PL on 438.350.

The cross-band repeater will be active during the net, though if issues
arise, it may also be active on an intermittent basis throughout the power
outage event.  If you have a dual-receive radio, set the other frequency to
146.175 MHz. (PL 103.5) so that you can benefit from the full repeater
function of the cross-band relay.  In this event, the cross band will
probably be linked to the West Marin repeater.

Novato Stations: Attempt to check in to the cross-band repeater on 438.350.

Channel 3 (simplex) is always available for local contacts.

Look forward to hearing you on the air!
