  ARES Maryland HF Hospital Net

REACTers. Most of us are also Amateur Radio operators and ARES members. If you have HF and can at all participate please check into the net. The following message is copied from Jim Cross / ARRL Section Manager MDC.

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 +/-.
