Hurricane Season
2003 - Special Tar Heel Emergency Net


The ARES Section Emergency
Coordinator Bernie Nobles, WA4MOK, and the TAR HEEL EMERGENCY NET (THEN)
Manager Claude Chaffin, K4CWZ, have granted permission to conduct a
special THEN session on Tuesday, July 22nd at 1930 EDT.


Jeff Orrock, the Warning Coordination Meteorologist for the
National Weather Service (NWS) in Raleigh, will present a training
presentation entitled {quot}Hurricane Season 2003{quot} for the benefit
of amateur radio operators involved in providing emergency
communications.  Jeff is an experienced meteorologist who has served
in eastern NC and has a talent for presenting scientific information in a
way that non-meteorologists can understand.


Also on linked
repeaters...

Danny Hampton, K4ITL, has
approved the use of the Piedmont Coastal Repeater Network 146.88 repeater
for this presentation. Use of the 146.88 repeater will allow us to
originate the presentation form the North Carolina Emergency
Management  (NCEM) Emergency Operations Center (EOC) amateur radio
station, NC4EO, and Tom Brown, N4TAB will provide a relay to the THEN on
3923 LSB. There are plans to link repeaters to enable many operators and
listeners across the state to participate in this training net. The
effort to coordinate the repeater linking includes several repeater
systems. A coordinated effort will be made to account for individual
operators checking into local repeaters before they are linked for the
presentation.  If there are any questions about the repeater linking
please contact Tom or myself.


This special THEN is designed to provide training information from the
NWS and an exercise in linking repeaters. I would like to thank you in
advance for your support and cooperation for this net.  I am looking
forward to see just how many people we can reach using amateur radio. Any
additional details or information will be sent to this list as they
becomes available. If there are any questions or comments please send
email or call Tom or myself, our contact information is listed below.
