FW: [WCFARES] Communications Test

[Evans F. Mitchell KD4EFM / AFA2TH / WQFK-894]

Good Afternoon,
    I am passing this information on to all Polk County Amateur Radio
Operators and ARES
members. Even though Sarasota County is not an adjacent county to Polk, we
have in the
past participated in this event. If you have any time you can spare, and be
willing to assist,
please make note of the frequencies and the start time of 10 AM. ARES
members who
take part in this, please make notes and document your time spent and send
that in to me.
 
Thanks for your help.
 
Evans Mitchell
Polk ARES E.C.

Sarasota County will be conducting a test of their communications 
systems from their "backup" Emergency Operations Center, on Saturday, 
March 8th.

To coincide with their testing, we will be conducting a test of our 
amateur communications capabilities from that site using one of our 
permanently installed dual-band antennas and portable "jump kit". We 
will be checking radio coverage from the "backup" EOC to several of our 
designated Emergency frequencies (repeaters and simplex).

We will start one one frequency and take a list of "check ins" on that 
frequency. Once completed, we will announce the move to another 
frequency, and repeat the process.

The exercise will begin at 10 AM, and we will be taking "check ins" in 
the order of frequencies listed below.

146.730 MHz (PL 100)
145.130 MHz
147.390 MHz (PL 100)
147.120 MHz (PL 136.5)
443.550 MHz (PL 100)
442.330 MHz/444.600 MHz (PL 82.5) Linked system, use either repeater
146.580 MHz (simplex)
145.090 MHz (Winlink packet)

A more detailed listing can be found at 
http://www.saracs. <http://www.saracs.org/docs/ics205wilkinson.pdf>
org/docs/ics205wilkinson.pdf

Anyone can check in on one, or more, frequencies. We will ask you for a 
"location", which can be the nearest major intersection. This will help 
us plot repeater coverage, so the more participants, the better.

Thanks to SERC, NPARC, and K4TAP, for allowing us the use of their 
repeaters for this exercise.

Ron, WD4AHZ

Emergency Coordinator, Sarasota County
