[W1SMH] Fwd: [mras_general] Massachusetts Statewide Hurricane Drill - Hurricane Hudson Participants Document

[Scott Bumpus]

Hi everyone

As we had talked about at our last meeting the annual hurricane drill will
be this coming Monday 8/2/10 at 1900 hrs.  I believe that the plan is for us
to meet at the EOC and participate if there is enough interest.  I believe
that the plan also is to have someone at the radio room at the hospital and
maybe if we speak with Dave Denino maybe the hospital would want to
participate and open their EOC.  Attached is some information from Rob
reguarding the drill and I will forward another e-mail to the group as
well.  I unfortunately have to work at my part time job on Monday evening
but if there is some interest let me know and I can forward it to Chief
Lamb.

Sincerely,
Scott Bumpus N1SEC
NAEMA Radio Officer
RACES/ARES

Hello to all...

The Massachusetts Statewide Hurricane Drill - Hurricane Hudson is set for
Monday August 2nd, 2010 from 7-9 PM. The participants document has been
created. This participants document is revision 1. The document may be
revised once more between now and drill time but represents all of the
pertinent information for the exercise as of Sunday July 25th. A link to the
document is provided below:

http://ares.ema.arrl.org/local/2010_Hurricane_Hudson_Mass_Drill_Participants_Doc_Rev_1.pdf

The biggest highlight to mention to all participants is that there will be
failover from repeaters, Echolink/IRLP etc. to 2-Meter simplex, HF and RF
only modes including Winlink RF only modes at a certain juncture within the
exercise. This will be an opportunity to practice failover which has not
been practiced in a number of exercises and will be a worthwhile item to
practice as part of this exercise.

We encourage strong participation across RACES, ARES, SKYWARN and MARS
members. Water temperatures off our coastline are warmer than normal. While
this won't necessarily dictate the track of hurricanes towards the region,
it is an indicator that if we do get a hurricane coming up the coast posing
a potential threat to New England, the water temperatures will be warmer
alllowing the hurricane to sustain its strength longer than normal. This
exercise will serve as good practice to a real hurricane situation. Thanks
to all for their continued support of RACES, ARES, SKYWARN and MARS in the
commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Respectfully Submitted,

Robert Macedo (KD1CY)
