[SARES] Saturday Drill Info

The following SARES members have advised they plan to participate in the 
Saturday (4/22) exercise between 2 & 4 PM:
    N6HM       Howard
    K6OTT      Andreas
    KG6TJJ      Joanne
    AA6WK     Skip
    WA6OCP   Neal
    KG6KZV    Rick
    KG6MOL   Bob

If there are any others planning to participate, please advise Bob 
(*pafidt@rawbw.com*).

The goal of this exercise is for all agencies, including Santa Clara 
County EOC, to exercise their "RESOURCE NET".  I am including frequency 
information for contact of Santa Clara County, if you need to contact 
them before SARES is on the air [SARES Resource Net 145.170 (-) PL 94.8 
<repeater>, SARES Tactical 147.405 <simplex>].
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/We (Santa Clara County) will be operating the *Resource Net on AA6BT/R, 
146.115(+) PL 100*., linked to the N6NAC/R 444.625(+) PL 110.9. We will 
also be operating the *Message Net on W6TI/R, 147.36(+) PL 110.9*, and 
packet on 144.91, and 223.66. We will monitor the Command net on 
WB6ZVW/R 442.500(+) PL 100.0./
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Something to consider, the SARES Emergency Procedure (currently under 
review by Cherel & Craig) indicates that any member can start our 
resource net from home on the repeater, until the EOC is in operation.  
Basically the member is operating as Net Control (NC) should assign 
SARES members a location (EC/AECs to PS Hqs. - #1 All fire stations, #2 
All schools) near them.  NC shall maintain an assignment list, until 
relieved by the Radio Room Operator, at which time NC should relay 
assignment info to the Radio Room, who will then become NC.

This is a *NO RELOCATION exercise, *you can stay in you radio shack for 
this drill.

 Below are suggested examples of damage reports you could transmit, we 
(SARES) are open to other examples of damage.  ALSO is the suggested 
method of contact to be used at 2 PM./ In BLUE above./  Howard & I plan 
to be at Public Safety in our radio room and will at some point be on 
the air for Sunnyvale radio traffic.  This might be shortly after 2 PM 
or "longly" after 2 PM.

Lawrence Expressway and Hwy 101 has collapsed, 101 closed both 
directions. *THIS IS DRILL TRAFFIC.

*Hopefully I have covered things for the drill that will allow you to 
participate.  If you have any comments, suggestions, etc. let me know 
via e-mail prior to NOON on Saturday, 4/22.

Food for thought, perhaps we can all get together at Starbucks at Mary & 
Washington for a debrief immediately after Sunnyvale secures from the drill.

Bob, KG6MOL
