The exercise scenario will simulate a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) event and focus on actions that radio operators should take prior to and following such an event. [Coronal mass ejections (or CMEs) are huge bubbles of gas threaded with magnetic field lines that are ejected from the Sun over the course of several hours. Coronal Mass Ejections disrupt the flow of the solar wind and produce disturbances that strike the Earth with sometimes catastrophic results. More on CMEs here . - source NASA.] Training objectives for this exercise will include: Understanding what a CME is and how much forecast lead time can be expected prior to the CME. What effects are associated with a CME and what precautions should radio operators take prior to the CME to protect equipment. Following the CME, operators will begin assessing the effects and begin reporting this information. Interoperability with Amateur Radio operators and groups. Amateur Radio operators, ARES and RACES members are encouraged to participate in this exercise.

Net control will move the net to the simplex frequency of 145.555 *(Channel 0) and perform a rollcall. Net control will move the net to 147.375 *(Channel 23) and perform a rollcall and take comments. After the comment round stations, may secure. Stations that secure from the net are also encouraged to try to access other repeaters on their own that are in the area. TALK IT UP! Some suggested repeaters are: *(Channel 113) 442.775, (Flower Hospital) *(Channel 117) 444.700, (St. Luke?s Hospital) *(Channel110) 442.950, (WJ8E) *(Channel 17) 146.610, (GTARA) *(Channel 27) 147.195, (Fulton Co.) *(Channel 26) 147.180, (Wood Co.) *(Channel 36) 147.315. (Henry Co.) W8TER and other stations will be checking out the repeaters and looking for stations on those repeaters and asking for signal reports. W8TER will attempt to check-into the NORC NET at 11 am on HF on or around 7.200 MHz and give a report concerning the hospital net contacts. 147.270 will be the rally frequency. It will be monitored throughout the radio testing. Stations that get lost can return to this frequency for guidance.
