[ARES] Flood warning - be prepared

[Tod Glenn]

With the possibility of impending floods, now is a good time to check  
you emergency radio gear.  Although it is unlikely that we will  
experience a loss of communication, anything is possible.

Now is a good time to check your usual emergency gear.  In addition,  
make sure your radio batteries are charged, and that you have alkaline  
batteries for you battery packs.

In the event of loss of communication, or a declared emergency, please  
tune to the following frequencies:

Main:  2 meter repeater:  147.820 -
Backup:  2 meter simplex (in the event the repeater is down): 147.500

HF: 3.900 LSB

For those with wide band receive on their 2m radios, you can receive  
weather reports on:

162.400 FM

I can be reached at home at 227-5436, or on my cell at 461-7283
