      Hello to all,

      

             I hope everyone had a pleasant Labor Day holiday and that
      everyone is enjoying the recent run of cooler weather! 

      

          I am writing to remind everyone that tomorrow, Monday
      September 10th, 2018 is the first non-holiday Monday of the month
      and, as such, is our monthly RACES/ACS drill night.  I would like
      to thank all operators who assisted with last month's nets. This
      month's nets will again be run facing the challenge of not having
      use of the MEMA Region #2 Headquarters communication setup.
      Operators who are available to participate as Net Control
      Operators tomorrow evening are asked to please contact me, N1YLQ,
      before the nets. 

      

              Last months nets went extremely well especially given the
      unusual configuration of Net Control Operators.  I and MEMA very
      much appreciate everyone's flexibility and willingness to work
      together to overcome our temporary state of stationless-ness! For
      those operators from last month that served as Net Control
      Operators, I am missing the net attendance reports from a couple
      of nets. If you did not e-mail me the net report from last month,
      please do so as those numbers are reported to MEMA to show them
      our level of participation. 

      

      The Region #2 and State Net Schedule for this evening is as
      follows:

            MA RACES HF Net

            
            3930 KHz LSB moving up to
              3955 KHz until there is a clear frequency 
            18:45 Local

            
          
        
      
      

          For the Region 2 operators and Net Control team members, I
      would like to know who may be available to assist from the Region
      2 bunker or who may be able to assist as a NCO from home. Any
      operators who would like to take a net, please respond and let me
      know if and how you might be participating. Since we will not have
      an operator at WC1MAB to maintain a log at Region 2 Headquarters,
      it would be very helpful for Net Control Stations to please e-mail
      their net reports to me at WC1MAB at gmail.com
      in the days following the nets.

      

            As always, if anyone has been interested in participating as
      Net Control Stations, the call for operators is an open one. This
      is a great skill to practice and can be a big help for our region
      in the event that the State EOC is operating in lieu of the Region
      Office, but communications still need to happen. If any local
      RACES operators who have participated in nets recently are
      interested in acting as NCO please let me know and we will see how
      we can get you into the fray. As always, if anyone is receiving
      this note and does not wish to receive further messages of this
      kind, please reply and let me know. Also, if you know someone who
      would benefit from being on this list, please have them contact me
      at WC1MAB at gmail.com
      and I will add them to this distribution. Thank you all!

      

            If anyone has any questions or comments I can be reached by
      e-mail or cell phone. Thanks for being a part of our team and I
      look forward to hearing back on who can participate this month.

      

      Sincerely,
