[MDC-ARES] MT-63 Demo Reminder, NBEMS Webinar, and SKED Request

[n3sb at qis.net]

Hi Folks;

Just a reminder that an on-air demonstration of MT-63 has been  
arranged with MEMA for this Tuesday evening 08-Feb, after the monthly  
RACES drill. Tony KF3AK and I did a checkout of our equipment and  
software earlier today, so I think we're going to be successful in  
showing how efficient MT-63 is for digital communications. We've got  
FLMSG also working, which is a really slick program that works with  
FLDIGI to send ICS-213s, NTS Radigrams, and several other common  
forms. It also makes printing of received messages easy too, which  
means your customers will be able to read them a whole lot easier.

So - if any EOC or Hospital stations would like to participate in this  
test, we'll be using the Western Region Net frequency 147.060 MHz,  
when the RACES drill concludes.

By the way, it just so happens that there will be a Webinar on  
Saturday 26-Feb to discuss how to use FLDIGI and FLWRAP. Here's the  
note from Bill Edgar N3LLR:

sheet/database data and form-based messages such as the ICS-213 and
NTS/Radiogram forms. We will also be covering HF digital net procedures
and protocols and hope to incorporate a live HF demonstration that will
be viewable by all those attending the webinar.

FYI -- The Carroll County Hospital Station is looking for SKEDs with  
other hospital stations during any of the monthly RACES drills. If  
your Hospital Station would like to try a communications test with the  
station here in Carroll, please let me know.
