General 2 weeks, 4 days agoThe CEC Fall 2019 Newsletter has a list of acronyms (p. 4). And their first newsletter has a description of what the various volunteer organizations that are trained to help first responders do. If that helps.

Jeneen, W6NCS (president) replied to the topic Top Questions from the Power Outage? in the forum
General 2 weeks, 4 days agoOpening a DOC or providing comms support is at the behest of Chief Delay. With no official activation, though, if there is something going on in Branch 3 or 4 that is a threat or could develop into a threat, the SC4ARC folks should be on their radios exchanging information and reporting on what’s going on in their vicinity. Even in the DOC, we…[Read more]

General 2 weeks, 5 days agoYou might interview Pat and/or Peggy to see how their community comms system works with GRMS and ham radios. Butano is doing something similar, though on a smaller scale. Thanks for doing that. Getting information out during an emergency is critical, and not easy to do without electricity & phones.

Jeneen, W6NCS (president) replied to the topic Wish List for SC4ARES Equipment in the forum
General 3 weeks agoThere is a radio and power supply in the yellow box. It’s not a particularly good radio for emcomm needs. We are waiting to get the FT-8900 back from Rick in Middleton, which he has on loan from the club. I believe that radio is going to stay at the fire house. We really need headphones, based on my experience yesterday 🙂
Does anyone know…[Read more]

Jeneen, W6NCS (president) replied to the topic ARES activation – PSPS 10/26/2019 in the forum
General 3 weeks, 3 days agoI can do 4-10pm on Saturday or Sunday. It would be nice if one CERT person who is not a ham could accommodate one ham operator for each shift. At the rate these power outages are going, we’re going to run out of hams to staff the DOC if we have two hams. Just a suggestion.

Jeneen, W6NCS (president) replied to the topic PG&E shut down tonight in the forum
General 3 weeks, 5 days agoSince the DOC opens at 10 pm, we will not be conducting a net. Please have your radios on just in case something comes up, and limit transmissions to only priority or emergency traffic during the night so we don’t wake people up. That includes letting people know that your electricity is off – which we would normally be interested in but not…[Read more]
