The 2017 MDC Section SET Planning Meeting was held September 9, 2017 and
graciously hosted by Frank, N3SEO, EC Anne Arundel County.  Thirty one
hams from around the state attended with a very enthusiastic attitude.
Many thanks Frank and your ARES Team for hosting.

The SET will take place October 7 on the Eastern Shore between 0900-1500
supporting a Hurricane Elmer direct hit on Ocean City. We plan the
following SET components running during the event:  APRS, Fox Hunting a
lost child, message traffic for hospital medical resupply request, chase
down NOAA river level gauges, and a few more.  Should be fun. Details in
a forthcoming SET Plan.

While we have identified nine fixed stations for the SET, we are
particularly in need of a mobile APRS plus Winlink Packet team to
support the event.   A driver with APRS and a second ham dedicated to
the Winlink packet operations. Not having enough SET radio operators, we
need this requirement to survey satellite health and hospital dept.
locations (three know at the present time) and two river level gauges
and report data to a local command post.

If you have the desire to support your Section SET this year and can
muster up the required team, please let us know the team details and
send an email to WB3KAS at arrl.net as soon as possible so we can properly
write the required injects.

Thank you.
