[ARES] Simulated Emergency Test!!

[Tod Glenn]

Please check into the 147.82 repeater  at 1200 and 1700 hrs local  
Friday.  I need net controls for both times to  record check ins for  
me.  I will be out of town Friday - so my timing is perfect.

Let's see how many we can get to check in.

Thanks, Tod

This is an exercise message. The Montana Simulated Emergency Test
has begun. Please activate your calling tree. Have everyone check
into a local net and send at least one piece of traffic. You may
rally on your local repeater, the MRLA System, 3880 KHz, 7247KHz.
Please feel free to contact AE7V via APRS as well. This SET will
last approximately 24 hours and will end at 2400UTC on 27 Sept.
UTC. That's Friday at 6PM local. Someone from you group should
also check in to the Montana Traffic Net at 0030 Hours UTC on the
28th and pass a net report to AE7V your Montana Section Emergency
Coordinator with a net report of how many check ins, traffic passed,
and total time the net was running. Also required will be an FSD-
157 sent e-mail to AE7V at arrl.net …..Please include all calls in this
report of people that checked in. Amateurs that are not affiliated
to your group are welcome to check in and should be included in your
count. Any questions can be answered by AE7V at 406-670-7956. If I
cannot answer leave a message and phone number and I will get back
with you ASAP.

Hope this helps and good luck. I will call all the ECs and let them
know when we are starting. Ask questions while I'm on the phone
with you.
