….. and it is a requirement to be part of ARES.

Hi everybody,
Thank you all for supporting this activation. Ari asked us to shut down at 10pm tonight so Eva’s, Peter’s and Martine’s shifts are cancelled.

To minimize repeater activity during power down we will have check-ins at a pre-defined schedule. Additional ones will be added at the beginning and at the end of the activation and in case of emergency. During power shut downs remember to keep your messages short. Name – Call sign – location – traffic.

Check-in schedule:

8:30 AM

Hi all,
thanks so much for signing up. All ARES slots are now assigned. This time CERT is scheduling independently.
ARES assignment is to open the DOC, collect documentation and provide communication support (radio). It is not ARES duty to answer phone calls or questions from walk-ins. Expect a CERT operator with you during your shift.

Thanks Peter,
Mike has also turn on his kj6vcp-8 digipeater in case we cannot go direct. I have all needed in my car ready to be setup in case we lose internet at the firehouse.
Best,
Angelo

Hi Catherine,
that is beyond ARES scope but maybe someone is interested. I personally would love to. I used to run a weekly show on the radio for several years when I was young. Not sure I have the time nowadays. I will give you a call later today in any case to understand if there are ways the club can support you and I will discuss it with Mike.
Angelo

Hi all,
ARES ACTIVATION is confirmed. We start operations at 7:00PM on Wednesday evening October 13th.

Please check the spread sheet for assigned shifts. We need a few more volunteers

Please let me know who else can make it.
Thanks,
Angelo

Just to clarify since I heard on the net someone saying tomorrow, the potential shut down is Wednesday evening.
Angelo

Yes Bob but you have to consider that in branch 3/4 only ARES participated. CERT was not officially activated and we have not engaged the broader community (with the exception of Skyline and Butano (who obviously couldn’t participate this time)). HMB CERT has worked for long time toward this.
Not say we should not try to get there.
Angelo

To everybody. Awesome job!!!! This went really well.

We’ll have a debrief at the next meeting.

Hope you had fun.

Best,
Angelo N6QAD

P.S. We have been sweating here at the DOC
