Good morning to all - 

If you are a Net Control Station for one of our ARES nets this Sunday or in the upcoming week, please include the following announcement in your net if you are able:

"The Western Massachusetts ARES Simulated Emergency Test will be held on Saturday, October 4th from 10 am to 2 pm local time.  The chosen scenario involves a wide-spread loss of power and internet and will require working without most of our normal repeaters.  There are a few spots still available for volunteers.  If you are interested, contact your local DEC or EC, who may be found at wma dot arrl dot org slash emergency dash communications."

Thanks!
