[Wma-ares] SET volunteer update

[Chuck Chandler]

Gary -

I will send you an email putting you in touch with the Ashfield Emergency
Management Director, who would like to discuss the possibility of hosting
us at one of his shelter sites.  The two of you can decide if this is a
location you would like to staff or not.

Please let us know as soon as you know about the generator power for your
repeater.  Sounds as if it would be a fine asset.  Do you know if it covers
down to Agawam?
